Abstract

This paper is part survey, part essay. The survey consists of a partial review of the literature on the subject of foreign direct investment in developing countries, with particular emphasis on conflict and its resolution through negotiation. After a brief discussion of the objective functions guiding the strategies of both main actors, the paper turns to a review of the substantive and institutional context surrounding the negotiation process between multinational firms and host countries. Next follow some general principles, common to most negotiations, drawn from the experience obtained in other fields, and a discussion of the relevant literature on international business negotiations. Last, the essay integrates the various threads of analysis into a series of normative conclusions which, while not pretending to be imperial, are offered as challenges for further study.© 1981 JIBS.
