“…At face value the idea of bringing capital to a country is almost synonymous with economic growth and development. The traditional argument states that FDI brings positive economic spillovers by stimulating the flow of new technologies and know‐how, increasing employment, creating links between domestic and foreign firms and providing direct capital financing, thereby contributing to economic development (Alfaro & Chauvin, 2016, pp. 2–3).…”

Intellectual property (IP) and foreign direct investment (FDI) are seen as important contributors to economic development. However, once given a closer look, a complex economic landscape emerges. Although, both IP and FDI can be beneficial to the economic development of a country their presence does not automatically guarantee it. From a legal perspective, the treaties governing the two international legal regimes, international IP law and international investment law (IIL), reflect the positive developmental aspirations ascribed to IP and FDI. Nevertheless, once these international treaties are put to the test in international adjudication, economic development becomes a contested notion. In particular, investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) tribunals are often confronted with economic development as a legal concept and the way they treat it can vastly differ. By relying on the Salini test in ISDS cases dealing with IP, the Tribunals had the chance to address the developmental dimension of IP as FDI. Philip Morris v. Uruguay and Bridgestone v. Panama give a detailed outlook on the different outcomes such considerations might result in.

“…On the other hand, IFRS adoption doesn't affect FDI inflow in developing countries, however IFRS adoption and quality institutions countries that adopted the IFRS experience better FDI inflows in the presence of institutional quality [23].

Is there a relationship between governance and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) adept in a presumed country? What is the importance of institutional setup or governance in stimulating growth in a developing country? To answer this query, this study explores the distinction of good governance for FDI inflows in India for the time period of 14 years, i.e. from 1996 to 2012 by employing multiple regression models. Firstly, variance inflation factor (VIF) test shows that there is no perfect multicollinearity. Secondly, the empirical results evinced that institutional factors matter for huge FDI attraction in India. The paper evidence that India attract more FDI due to good governance, therefore it is acclaimed that government of India should take auxiliary steps to improve governance which can tempt more foreign investors and can help attain full employment, boost growth and can nurture per capita income.

“…From a geographical nation branding, there are a number of factors that might have a direct impact on the FDI, such as connecting location, closeness to important markets, and logistic importance. The association between the resources and capabilities of a country is dependent on its geographical proximity, location and closeness to market where it operates its activities (Alfaro & Chauvin, 2016). The benefits of specific geographic locations with respect to their capabilities and resources are combined to develop and improve existing competitive advantages (Hurn, 2016).…”

Background: Nation branding’s role of luring foreign investments should be maximized to the extent, in which the entire dimensions of host countries are adequately harnessed in the development of their image. Geography therefore represents a dimension of a vital importance to nation branding given into account its association with a group of locational advantages. Objective: To evaluate the potential role of Saudi Arabia’s geographical branding in promoting FDI. Methods: The current study investigated foreign companies seeking to enter the Saudi markets or expand their business within the country. A total of 234 CEOs, general managers and those who hold similar positions with a direct involvement in international affairs were polled in the study. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data collected via AMOS 20. Results: It has been revealed that the connecting location, the logistic importance of Saudi Arabia and its closes to important markets showed direct effects on geographical branding. The study has also found that geographical branding meditated the effects of its three pillars on the inward foreign direct investments of Saudi Arabia. Discussion and Conclusion: The current study added a new vigor to the literature of nation branding through its ability to shed light on the geographical aspect of it and find correlations between geography and FDI from a nation branding perspective.
