Overview: Even those living in the remotest corners of the globe; palpably feel the irreversible impacts of globalisation - both negative and positive. This fact poses numerous challenges for policymakers at all levels across countries, more particularly in the developing world. One of these challenges stems from a widespread concern that governments open up and adopt more market-friendly policy regimes and seek more actively to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). This paper examines the various steps developing countries initiate to facilitate benefit-maximising FDI and regulations they put in place and analyses how effective such measures have been. The paper draws, among others, from the Investment For Development (IFD) project implemented by CUTS during 2001-2003 in seven select developing countries representing diverse geographical, political, social and economic backgrounds.
