Headquarters’ Control Capacity and the Choice of R&D Organizational Forms Abroad
2013
International audience; Recently, regarding globalization, the decentralization of R&D activities abroad by multinational companies (MNCs) has become important in developed countries. However, academic research has not given this topic sufficient attention. This paper explains how the efficiency of control and incentive mechanisms may affect the choice of organizational forms by MNCs that decentralize their R&D activities abroad. We identify five main organizational forms: wholly owned green-field subsidiary, wholly owned acquired subsidiary, joint venture, cross-licensing agreements, and unilateral licensing agreements. A questionnaire addressed to the R&D managers of American and European…

La suspensión de la libre circulación de inversiones extranjeras en España por la crisis del COVID-19
2020
La libre circulación de inversiones es uno de los mantras que ha caracterizado la modernidad económica. El principio, sin embargo, se encuentra sometido a creciente prevención, en el marco de una visión crítica hacia la globalización en un mundo en pleno reajuste geoestratégico. Una de las manifestaciones de esta tendencia reciente de empoderamiento del Estado se refleja en la articulación de mecanismos de control de las inversiones foráneas que le permitan evitar que sectores claves de la economía nacional caigan en manos de inversores extranjeros, en muchas ocasiones, controlados por Estados competidores. A diferencia de lo que ocurre con los países de nuestro entorno, España había sido i…
A more targeted approach to foreign direct investment: the establishment of screening systems on national security grounds
2018
The process of liberalization of international trade and of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has constituted a broadly accepted trend during the last few decades and FDI inflows have expanded constantly since the end of the 1980’s. However, signs of a certain crisis of the positive and one-way attitude towards international trade and FDI exist nowadays. The increase in the flux of FDI coming from developing and emerging countries to developed economies, the sudden relevance of foreign sovereign investors, the changing environment for national security or the quest to protect technologies and sectors of the economy considered vital for the host country, its sovereignty and competitiveness are…
Outward Foreign Direct Investment by Chinese National Oil Companies
2015
Developed countries have become increasingly suspicious about the rapid growth of Chinese investments in their home countries and abroad, commonly citing potential threats to national security and global governance as the main sources of anxieties. As a result, policy measures in some developed markets have been put in place to create additional regulation and oversight, specifically in highly regulated and strategic industries, such as the oil sector. This article refutes a number of popular myths about Chinese investments in the global oil industry, and suggests a more rigorous dialogue with the Chinese authorities relating to their integration into international institutions.

The World of Anglo-Saxon Learning
2007
D uring the Anglo-Saxon period, English schools were among the finest in Europe. From English schools came the great masters whose writings instructed generations, centuries even, of Insular and continental students alike: one has only to think of the works of Aldhelm, Bede and Alcuin, which were copied and studied intensively up to the twelfth century and beyond. This achievement is all the more remarkable when one considers that the Anglo-Saxons were among the first peoples in Europe who were obliged to learn Latin as a foreign language if Christianity - a religion of the book par excellence - was to flourish. Throughout the Anglo-Saxon period, English schools benefited from the instructi…
Nodokļu konvenciju un uzņēmumu peļņas repatriācijas uz investora valsti aplikšanas ar nodokļiem ietekme uz ārvalstu tiešajām investīcijām Latvijā.
2022
Latvijai ir salīdzinoši plašs nodokļu konvenciju tīkls, un šo konvenciju slēgšana pamatā tiek slēgta ar mērķi novērst nodokļu dubultās uzlikšanu, tādējādi arī veicinot ārvalstu tiešās investīcijas Latvijā. Taču līdz šim Latvijā jautājums par to, vai nodokļu konvencijas veicina ārvalstu tiešās investīcijas Latvijā, nav plaši pētīts. Autors šajā darbā pētīja sakarību starp nodokļu konvencijas esamības faktu (ņemot vērā dažādas attiecīgo konvenciju īpašības) un ārvalstu tiešajām investīcijām Latvijā. Tāpat tika apskatīta atsevišķu nodokļu faktoru ietekme uz ārvalstu investīcijām Latvijā. Darbā, izmantojot paneļa datu modeli, analizēta informācija par ārvalstu tiešajām investīcijām uz Latviju n…

2019
Tā kā Ziemeļkoreja turpina būt fundamentāla Austrumāzijas ģeopolitiskā konteksta sastāvdaļa, šī maģistra darba mērķis ir sniegt pārskatu par Ziemeļkorejas ārpolitiku laika posmā no 2011. līdz 2018. gadam, iezīmējot galvenos faktorus, kas ir veicinājuši mūsdienu status quo izveidi. Lai izveidotu stabilu pamatu šī temata sapratnei, maģistra darba ietvarā tiek piemēroti ofensīvā reālisma un konstruktīvisma teorētiskie ietvari, tādējādi cenšoties sniegt skaidrojumu par šī temata galveno aspektu daudzajām niansēm. Šajā ziņā, vairāki no Ziemeļkorejas ārpolitikas kontekstā atrodamajiem tematiem, kā piemēram, valsts reakcija uz starptautiskajiem spiedieniem un tās kodolieroču programma, tiek analiz…
