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. 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$zIreland 606 $aInternational business enterprises$zIreland 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$zCosta Rica 606 $aInternational business enterprises$zCosta Rica 606 $aHigh technology industries 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign 615 0$aInternational business enterprises 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign 615 0$aInternational business enterprises 615 0$aHigh technology industries. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a332.67/3/097286 700 $aPaus$b Eva$01681139 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826412703321 996 $aForeign investment, development, and globalization$94050371 997 $aUNINA
