Routledge The Future of Foreign Investment in Southeast Asia (Routledge International Business in Asia)

This book explains the dynamics behind southeast Asia's foreign investment activity, and looks at the region's options for reviving its reputation as an attractive host for foreign investors. Each chapter focuses on a key element; together, they portray southeast Asia's foreign investment profile and prospects. By bringing these key interlocking elements together under a single cover, the book aims to provide a more profound understanding of the challenges southeast Asian countries face in their on-going attempts both to attract new foreign investment inflows and to continue hosting substantial existing foreign-invested assets. Review "The editors of the book have done a good job in the selection of topics which are wide ranging and provide much scope for discussion....The book is very well put together and makes an excellent contribution to the understanding of the dynamics underlying FDI in Southeast Asia." -"ASEAN Economic Bulletin About the Author Nick J.
