Foreign Direct Investments and the Rule of Law in Africa in the context of legal integration
2019
This essay focuses on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the rule of law in the context of legal integration in Africa, outside of the AfCFTA agreement. Specifically, the essay investigates the concept of the rule of law, taking into account its ‘dynamic’ side, that is the power to shape and model the structure of a state using the example of OHADA. The OHADA framework shows that the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the rule of law is not unilateral but a ‘two-way mutual’ relationship where both actors contribute to the success of the system, adapting to each other in order to achieve their respective goals.
AN ANALYSIS ON THE FDI FLOWS FROM EMERGING ECONOMIES TO EUROPE AND THEIR IMPACT
2014
After a concise setting of the context (by emphasizing on the FDI flows dynamics at the beginning of the 21st century through the lens of: annual inward and outward FDI flows between 2001 and 2013; annual contribution to IFDI flows and, respectively, to OFDI flows by group of countries – developed versus developing and transition ones), the paper analyzes the emerging market economies and the dynamics of their FDI flows (by using contextualization and comparisons). The main aspects targeted are: the dynamics of the outward FDI flows from EMEs comparative to the dynamics of the global outward FDI flows on annual basis, and the evolution of the specific weight of OFDI flows from EMEs in globa…
L'ouverture de la Chine et ses impacts sur l'économie chinoise
2012
In the early 1980s, Chinese government has adopted an opening up policy in order to attract capital, skills and modern advanced technology that are necessary for the economic development of China. Indeed, this policy has already borne fruit. China, that was almost self-sufficient until the 1980s, has now become the largest exporter and the second largest recipient of foreign direct investment in the world. Until now, most of the research on the economic opening up policy of China, however, has concentrated on the demonstration of the positive effects of exports and FDI inflows on the domestic economy of China. In this thesis, based on the analysis of economics of production, we study the re…
THEORIES OF THE MULTINATIONAL ENTERPRISES – TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES
2012
Multinational enterprises – as key determinants and results (in the same time) of the globalization process that characterize the economic world nowadays – know a lot of different approaches in the academic literature; this is a consequence of the refinement (in time) of the (firm’s) internationalization strategies and practices – which is determined, at its turn, by the continuous dynamics and challenges of the world economy. By this paper we would like to bring into attention two of these general theoretical frameworks; they were developed by Wladimir Andreff (into his 2003 book: Les multinationals globales), and Mats Forsgren respectively (into his 2008 book: Theories of the Multinationa…

INCREASING COMPETITIVENESS AND JOBS THROUGH FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS
2013
After 3 years of collapse, foreign direct investments (FDI) have reached a minimum level of the last 9 years, in 2011, meaning 1, 94 billion Euros, below the 2003 level. In the first 10 months of 2012, foreign direct investments have reached a level of 1,27 billion Euros, surpassing the similar period last year, as the economic growth was centered around 0,5 %. At this time, foreign direct investments represent one third of the current account deficit. Romania is objectively reliant on foreign capital due to its low degree of internal saving. Investors have chosen the automotive industry in Romania, a sector deemed competitive, due to cheap labor force, large market and substantial state ai…
On the Location Attractiveness of Emerging Countries for Foreign Direct Investments
2016
Our paper investigates the FDI attracting potential of emerging markets by in terms of their location attributes. We use Statistical cluster analysis to study the dynamic evolution of emerging markets’ clusters, based on country attributes that are relevant for the MNEs location decision. We find that countries tend to be grouped at a geographical level or depending on the various resources they possess, except for China that clusters independently. Also, there are numerous countries’ transitions from one cluster to another over the years, which indicate a natural process of changing location attributes and market development for many emerging economies.
