The Role of Foreign Direct Investments in the Development ofBrazil andIndia: A Comparative Analysis
比较巴西和印度的外国直接投资政策，认为两国19世纪殖民经历的差异导致了它们对外资的不同态度和政策。
Summary In this paper we concentrate on FDI and argue that the contrasting FDI policies in B razil and I ndia can be traced back to differences in the respective colonial (or semi‐colonial) experiences of the two nations during the 19 th century. Our comparative analysis of FDI in B razil and I ndia shows the importance of historical and institutional awareness in gaining an understanding of the manner in which each society perceived the role of foreign investments in their societies. By doing this, we gain an understanding of the reasons these countries adopted different attitudes and policies towards foreign capital.
