Description: "This book represents an effort to systematically demonstrate a causal relationship between institutional developments and investment behavior through the prism of foreign direct investment in China during the past two decades of reforms.".

"The book is organized into three main parts. The first part examines in detail the main building blocks, both the domestic and international dimension, of China's FDI regulatory framework as it has evolved over these years. The second part describes and analyzes, in both static and dynamic fashions, the various modes and changing patterns of FDI over the reform years.

The third part demonstrates a systematic causal link between institutional changes in China's FDI regulatory framework and the changing patterns of FDI over time and space." "The book is suitable not only for scholars and students of international economics, political science, law, and business in general, but also for China specialists, including policymakers and business executives."--BOOK JACKET.
