First sentence: This book will presents an interpretation of China's outward direct investment in the last quarter of a century.
Description: Presenting a thorough analysis of China's outward foreign direct investment (FDI) in the last quarter of a century - something little explored in the literature - this book explores the rationale behind its emergence and development. China's outward FDI exhibits unique features in respect of timing, pace and geographical distribution that defy the existing mainstream theories of FDI. China's Offsore Investments uses the framework of a network model of FDI, which is developed by applying economic norms to ideas of networks in business analysis. This network model has been designed specifically by the author for the purpose of theorising the changing pattern of FDI in the era of globalisation in general and interpreting China's FDI in particular.

It is prefaced by Professor John H. Dunning.  Scholars and researchers in the fields of FDI and multinational enterprises (MNEs) analysis, economic development and the Chinese economy will all find this book of great interest. Policymakers will also find much to engage them within this book.
