摘要：The central thesis of this volume is that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) “has proven to be the most dynamic defensive and offensive response to globalization”. The book, which is a collection of papers based on results of two ACE projects, consists of an Introduction and two main parts. Part I (six chapters) focuses on contextual and thematic aspects. Part II (seven chapters) analyzes and critically evaluates, theoretically and empirically, country studies concerning outward FDI and its effects on the internationalization of firms from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. Chapter 1 surveys the major theories related to outward internationalization of transition economies. In the author’s view, “the most relevant theories explaining the outward internationalization processes of transition economies are the ones that explain why firms at a certain development stage start to invest abroad”. Following this view, the author: (1) analyzes, first, the investment development path paradigm (IDP) model and, second, the sequential internationalization models and (2) discusses the theoretical implications of outward internationalization of transition economies.
