Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-349-53152-9 1-4039-6983-3 Includes bibliographical references (p. [207]-237) and index.This book engages the question, hotly debated among theorists and policymakers alike, of how a developing country's pursuit of foreign direct investment (FDI) affects its development prospects in a globalized world. Can small latecomers to economic development use high-tech FDI to rapidly expand indigenous capabilities, thus shortcutting stages of the industrialization process? What conditions, economic and non-economic, must be met for this strategy to succeed? Using the cases of Ireland and Costa Rica, the author shows how the dynamics of the FDI-development nexus have changed over time, rendering problematic Costa Rica's attempt, and those of other latecomers, to replicate the Celtic Tiger's success story.Investments, ForeignIrelandInternational business enterprisesIrelandInvestments, ForeignCosta RicaInternational business enterprisesCosta RicaHigh technology industriesGlobalizationElectronic books.Investments, ForeignInternational business enterprisesInvestments, ForeignInternational business enterprisesHigh technology industries.Globalization.332.67/3/097286Paus Eva998702MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450584703321Foreign investment, development, and globalization2290992UNINA
