The Political Economy of Foreign Investment in Latin America

Abstract: Examination of foreign investment inflows, stock, and outgoing profit flows from Latin America in the neoliberal period shows that the basic tenet of the dependency thesis still holds: there is a huge and underreported transfer of surplus value out of the continent. European capital has overtaken U.S. capital as a source of investment, and within the Andean region there are two distinct groups of countries with regard to investment regime: the Andean nations of the Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuest… Show more

“…5 Dependency theory is both explanatory and ideological. Within scholarly circles, it retains some persuasive proponents (for example , Hills 1994;Higginbottom 2013). Critics argue that, by suggesting that the centre is able to enjoy independent, self-sustaining development at the expense of the periphery, dependency theory represents an inert structural determinism that treats Latin American countries as 'passive recipients' at the mercy of powerful external actors (Kay 1989;Hey and Klak 1999: 69;Robinson 2008).…”

“…The first two connected the political and the economic dimensions through the Atomization and Fragmentation quadrants with three papers, and Atomization and Factionalism with five. Some works referred to foreign investment in Latin America [105,106], the political economy of armed conflict and crime in Colombian regions [107], and governance and conflict due to environmental depletion [79]. The strongest tie connected the political and the environmental dimensions along the Collective Conservation and Incidence quadrants with eight items including illustrating the management of Amazonian protected areas and indigenous territories [96], the governance of environmental risks at the local scale (Chile) [108], and conservation and climate change in Latin America [109].…”

“…Sajátos módon azok a függőségelméletek (dependency theories) amelyek a világ globális északra és globális délre való felosztottságáról beszélnek (Cardoso-Faletto 1979;Evans 1985;Perez 1990;Jalata 1993;Higginbottom 2013;Myrdal 1974Myrdal , 1977Yutisri 2016;Hung 2016;Amadi 2012;Onyancha 2016Onyancha , 2017 szinte egyáltalán nem referálnak a volt keleti tömb országaira úgy, mint a globális dél része, a kivételt Bruszt és Gerkovits (2009), Bruszt és Langbein (2017) illetve korábban Featherstone és Radaelli (2003) munkái mellett a saját koncepcióim képezik (Demeter 2017a, 2018a). Az a tény ugyanis, hogy a régió országai számos igen fontos szempontból jóval közelebb állnak a globális dél "klasszikus" országaihoz, mint a fejlett nyugathoz, sokszor észrevétlen marad, valószínűleg azért, mert földrajzi értelemben a térség a nyugat közvetlen közelében helyezkedik el.…”
