Abstract

RESUMEN En este trabajo, intentamos, a partir del análisis de dos casos aparentemente muy diferentes entre si, una filial maquiladora taiwanesa del sector textil en Nicaragua y una filial manufacturera de Sony en el País de Gales, verificar la existencia de las ventajas atribuidas por muchos investigadores a la inversión extranjera directa manufacturera en las economías periféricas. Las similitudes negativas halladas en estos dos casos, nos lleva a tener dudas en lo que se refiere a la contribución supuestamente universal de dicha inversión al potencial de desarrollo a largo plazo de la economía de acogida. ABSTRACT Using the analysis of two apparently very different cases, a Taiwanese maquiladora subsidiary of the garment industry in Nicaragua and Sonys manufacturing subsidiary in Wales, we try to verify the existence of the benefits attributed by many scholars to manufacturing foreign direct investment in the peripheral economies. The invalidating similarities found in the two cases cast doubts upon the supposedly universal contribution of this investment to the long-term development potential of the host economy.
