‘Since the 1990s, foreign direct investment (FDI) has become an important driver of economic prosperity. However, so has its (geo)politicalisation. It has become a tool for political parties to divide and conquer, particularly with the imposition of tariffs and intensification of the US and China rivalry. In this book, the merits of undertaking FDI to attain economic prosperity is analysed by critically examining its geopolitical costs and benefits. For anyone working in the field of FDI, reading this book is essential.’
