Description: "Based on extensive research, this volume gives penetrating insight into why multinational enterprises (MNEs) headquartered in Spain, invested so heavily in Latin America in the 1990s. Considering three key variables, structural reform in Latin America, Spanish economic liberalization and economic growth and development in Spain, Pablo Toral also provides a rigorous test of accepted theories of FDI, including alliance theory. Scholars of International Political Economy, International Relations, Economics, Business and Development Studies will find this text extremely useful, as will those with an interest in Spain and Latin America specifically."--BOOK JACKET.
