The Role Foreign Direct Investment and the Multinational Enterprise in Shaping Neighborhoods: The Case of the European Union

The author provides a more current discussion of the way that US FDI has contributed to the formation of clusters of countries in the EU, which shows that there is a relationship between the changes in the “neighborhoods” in the EU and US FDI in the EU countries in the last decade of the 20th century. As the author demonstrates that this observation is just the beginning of a discussion on the nature of neighborhoods in a global world.
