But, how are they connected? Do the domestic political institutions affect a country's attractiveness to foreign investors? Can countries that democratize attract relatively more foreign investments? Drawing on three in-depth case studies of oil-rich countries and statistical analyses of 132 countries over three decades, Oksan Bayulgen demonstrates that the link between democratization and FDI is nonlinear. Both authoritarian regimes and consolidated democracies have institutional capabilities that, though different, are attractive to foreign investors. Democracies can provide long-term stability, and authoritarian regimes can offer considerable flexibility. The regimes that have started on the road to democracy, but have not yet completed it, tend to have political institutions that provide neither flexibility nor stability. These hybrid regimes, then, also find it relatively more difficult to construct a policy environment that is attractive to foreign investments. These findings have deep implications for the link between democratization and globalization, but also how globalization may affect political, social, and economic development"--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Petroleum industry and trade|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85100430|zAzerbaijan.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92000010-781 650 0 Petroleum industry and trade|zRussia (Federation)|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109143 650 0 Petroleum industry and trade|zNorway.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008109139 650 0 Investments, Foreign|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85067736|zAzerbaijan.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n92000010-781 650 0 Investments, Foreign|zRussia (Federation)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009127083 650 0 Investments, Foreign|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85067736|zNorway.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79021528-781 650 7 Petroleum industry and trade.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1059546 650 7 Investments, Foreign.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 978370 651 7 Azerbaijan.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1260665 651 7 Russia (Federation)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1262050 651 7 Norway.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204556 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBayulgen, Oksan.|tForeign investments and political regimes.|dCambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2010|z9780521425889|w(DLC) 2009042537 |w(OCoLC)457768878 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=313353|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
