Foreign Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean 2000 - Softcover

This publication contributes to a better understanding of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Latin America and the Caribbean by examining the plentiful but disparate statistical information available on the subject. It discusses recent trends in net FDI flows to the region; strategies, agents and modalities of FDI in the region; and gives examples of new national strategies in Latin America relating to FDI. This year's edition also presents a special focus on Chile as a destination country; on Japan's role as a major international investor; and on the telecommunications industry as one of the sectors that best reflects the astonishingly rapid changes associated with globalization.
