Abstract

This volume of my collected papers from 2005–8 continues my interest in the theory of international business (Section I) and policies towards foreign direct investment (FDI) (Section IV) but has a major concentration on China, both as regards outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from China (Section II) and FDI in China (Section III). My research on China has been facilitated by working with colleagues in the Centre for International Business, University of Leeds (CIBUL) and by CIBUL’s participation in the White Rose East Asia Centre (WREAC), a collaboration with the East Asian Studies Department of the University of Leeds and with the University of Sheffield. China has become such an important element of the global economy that its influence cannot be ignored in almost any field of endeavour. The phenomenal impact of FDI in China and its (largely trade-related) consequences has been well documented and now there is a significant literature on the phenomenon of outward investment from China too.
