Foreign Direct investment is a critical tool for any local economic growth and development. Most FDI books maintain a general context and focus. Therefore, this book, offering individual case studies on selected economies and sectors is essentially novel. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and scholars in the field of International Business, Finance, Economics and Management. It is equally an invaluable resource for local economic policy makers for driving local economic growth and development. -- Dr Inalegwu Ode-Ichakpa, Associate Professor of Accounting, Lynn Pippenger School of Accountancy, Muma College of Business, University of South Florida, USA I have long admired Dr Chibuzo Amadis ability to see beyond statistics and systems, to the people whose lives are shaped by them. In this book, he presents a comprehensive account of Foreign Direct Investment as a global capital with local impacts, that directly shapes human welfare and economic trajectories. This book is not only intelligent and timely, it is born of a genuine concern for the world and economies we are building together. -- Kingsley O Omeihe PhD CMBE FRSA.
