The Impact of Legal Systems on FDI in Latin America

There are many determinants as to what draws foreign direct investment (FDI) to developing countries. The focus here will be on judicial systems. Research shows that there exists variation in the amount of FDI received based on the integrity of a nation's political and legal institutions. This book compares and contrasts the judicial strength of Chile, Panama, and Nicaragua as it relates to FDI. Detailed case studies highlight foreign firms and their decision-making process. In the end, it seems, the stronger and more dynamic a legal system, the greater the consideration to move forward with FDI.
