“…Technology transfer increases the efficiency of production factors and this in turn reduces the technological gap between national and international enterprises (Anwar and Nguyen, 2010). FDI is an important source of development financing, particularly for developing and less developed economies, as it contributes to productivity gains by bringing in new investment, better technology, and management expertise and by opening up export markets (Sahoo et al, 2014). FDI usually represents a long-term commitment to host country and contribute significantly to gross fixed capital formation in developing countries (Kaur and Dhillon, 2017).…”

This study explores the determinants of foreign direct investment based on panel data analysis. It addresses the relationship of the performance logistics and the shipping connectivity and the foreign direct investment (FDI). This study attempted to fill this gap by estimating the impact of these factors on the FDI, based on World Development Indicators database of 39 developing maritime nations over the period [2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015][2016]. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between countries' foreign direct investment and their logistics performance, and their shipping connectivity. The study has the originality to introduce tow logistics variables (logistics performance and maritime connectivity) in addition to controlling variables (exchange rate, and gross of domestic product). Empirical results suggest that the shipping connectivity, as well as the logistics performance, could be determinants of foreign direct investment. Concerning control variables result is in line with some study, the coefficient of GDP per capita is positive and significant, while the ORE has a significant negative coefficient.

“…In East Asia, particularly those in the Southeast, the key determinants of FDIs are market size, trade openness, labour force growth and infrastructure index. Thus, in order to attract more FDIs, governments are being compelled to sustain their growth momentum to expand market size, espouse open trade strategies, craft policies that better exploit their labour resources and enhance infrastructure facilities (Sahoo, 2006; Sjöholm, 2013).…”

Our assumptions about the nature and conduct of contemporary international politics deeply impact how we view maritime disputes plaguing the East and South China Seas. In this article, our analysis of the push and pull factors that influence the extent and possible resolution of maritime disputes in East Asia reveals that war is neither opposed in principle nor completely forbidden as an alternative. Amid heightening maritime tensions in the region, we argue that the underlying forces sustaining complex interdependence are what prevent rival states from engaging into a realist-inspired, zero-sum warfare. However, this is not to suggest that economic interdependence creates an absolute power that completely eradicates these flashpoints, and neither do we imply that it faithfully reflects East Asia’s maritime political reality. Although East Asian countries (particularly the more powerful ones) may think that open war can be justified, as a matter of practical utility, avoiding it is likely to be more effective in achieving the goals of a given conflict.
