This volume is the culmination of Institute investigations on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and development. Today, more than one-third of world trade takes place in the form of intrafirm transactions--that is, trade among the various parts of the same corporate network spread across borders--and the bulk of technology is transferred within the confines of integrated international production systems.

Oil Prices and the Future of OPEC: The Political Economy of Tension and Stability in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Coutnries
ISBN: 9781138954205 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The policy of the United States and, by extension, that of many oil importing countries, toward OPEC countries is in large part a function of an estimate of the factors that condition oil decisions in exporting countries. In this title, originally published in 1978, Ted Moran examines how immune OPEC can expect to be to the struggles over market shares that traditionally have beset attempts to organize natural resource cartels. Moran s research leads him to argue that skyrocketing commitments to growth and social betterment leave little slack in national budgets and thus preclude output...

China's Strategy to Secure Natural Resources: Risks, Dangers, and Opportunities
ISBN: 9780881325126 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The rapid emergence of China as a major industrial power poses a complex challenge for global resource markets. Backed by the Chinese government, Chinese companies have been acquiring equity stakes in natural resource companies, extending loans to mining and petroleum investors, and writing long-term procurement contracts for oil and minerals. These activities have aroused concern that China might be "locking up" natural resource supplies, gaining "preferential access" to available output, and extending "control" over the world's extractive industries. On the demand side, Chinese appetite for...
