商品簡介
Foreign investment has been widely perceived as a panacea for developingcountries--as a way to reduce poverty and kick-start sustainable modern industries. The EnclaveEconomy calls this prescription into question, showing that Mexico's post-NAFTA experience offoreign direct investment in its information technology sector, particularly in the Guadalajararegion, did not result in the expected benefits. Charting the rise and fall of Mexico's"Silicon Valley," the authors explore issues that resonate through much of Latin Americaand the developing world: the social, economic, and environmental effects of market-drivenglobalization. In the 1990s, Mexico was a poster child for globalization, throwing open its bordersto trade and foreign investment, embracing NAFTA, and ending the government's role in strengtheningdomestic industry. But The Enclave Economy shows that although Mexico was initially successful inattracting multinational corporations, foreign investments waned in the absence of active governmentsupport and as China became increasingly competitive. Moreover, the authors find that foreigninvestment created an "enclave economy" the benefits of which were confined to aninternational sector not connected to the wider Mexican economy. In fact, foreign investment putmany local IT firms out of business and transferred only limited amounts of environmentally soundtechnology. The authors suggest policies and strategies that will enable Mexico and other developingcountries to foster foreign investment for sustainable development in the future. Kevin P.
