To their credit , the authors argue that the best way of attracting TNCs and FDI , from the point of view of mobilising foreign investment that will benefit developing economies , is to mobilise domestic resources - infrastructure , labour with the appropriate skills , and effective complementary institutions - that will benefit TNCs and allow the domestic economy to benefit from them . These mechanisms are not a substitute for other sources of finance for sustainable development , namely ODA , FDI , funding from international financial institutions , foreign portfolio investment and domestic resources . China has become the world 's second largest recipient of FDI , ranking behind only the United States . And while inward FDI to the developing countries shot up during the early 1990s , this was almost entirely due to the opening-up of China to FDI , and the remainder of the flows being concentrated in about 10 other countries . Its objectives are to analyze important topical policy-oriented issues related to FDI , develop and disseminate practical approaches and solutions , and provide students with a challenging learning environment .
