“…Furthermore, this meets the IDP theory assumption that the presence of foreign enterprises in the country will drive internationalization (Amal et al, 2009). Inward FDI in Latin America rose in the 1990s due to reforms and macroeconomic stability (Amal, Raboch & Tomio, 2010), which could be argued is related to the increase in outflows in the early 2000s. The region received 25% of the developing countries share of FDI inflows in 1995, which rose to 34% in 2000 (see Figure A3 in the Annexes).…”

This article discusses the linkage between Soft Power institutional conditions and their effects on inward foreign direct investment (IFDI) as a mediator of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). We measured Soft Power through the use of selected indicators between 2016 and 2019. To evaluate the proposed Soft Power constructs and their relationship with IFDI – OFDI, we applied partial least squares – structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The model outcomes suggest that Government, Business, Culture, and Diplomacy conditions have a significant and positive effect on IFDI and OFDI. The findings are context-moderated due to the heterogeneity of the emerging economies evaluated.

“…Most studies on the causal relationship between political risk and FDI concluded that high political risk discourages FDI in developing countries (Amal et al, 2010;Asiedu, 2006;Bussmann, 2010;Osabutey & Debrah, 2012).…”

Political risk factors have been considered as important factors which impact the foreign direct investment (FDI). But, the relationship between the political risk and FDI still not highly covered as expected. In this context, it is crucial to measure the political risk factors impact on the FDI especially for the Arab Spring countries which embraced radical political change after the revolution in 2011. This article aims to investigate the relationship between political risk and the FDI in Tunisia for the case of service sectors. The research is based on aggregate variables that represent six pillars of Governance Indicators. The data was extracted from the Worldwide Governance and the Tunisian Central Bank websites, the data frequency is yearly from 2004 to 2016. The research confirms that the political factors notably the government effectiveness and voice and accountability have significant impact on the FDI and on the FDI in the services sector.
