The latest article from JIBP establishes a policy framework for those responsible for maximizing the opportunities of inward foreign direct investment. nigel driffield, IRINA SURDU and Xiaocan Yuan examine the changing nature of FDI entering the UK, especially in light of Brexit and other global challenges like the COVID-19 supply chain crisis and political unrest. They propose a dynamic policy framework to help the UK adapt its investment promotion strategies. Key findings include the importance of sensing and seizing new opportunities from inward FDI and the need to reconfigure the UK's location-specific advantages over time. More study is still needed to fully understand the long-term implications, but this research provides a valuable roadmap for policymakers aiming to enhance economic resilience.

I am thrilled to share an advance copy of my article, ‘The Role of National Security in the Screening of Foreign Investment and Chinese Investment in East Asian Developed Economies,’ which is to be published in the forthcoming Volume 20 Issue 2 of the Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL). This article explores the foreign investment screening (FIS) regimes in Japan and South Korea and delves into the possibility that national security has become a focal point of confrontation between China and the developed East Asian countries in the international investment arena. It examines the legal concept of national security in China and its increasing significance in the country's foreign investment policy. It then analyses the FIS regimes in Korea and Japan, as well as their practical operations in relation to Chinese investments. The focus is on the ways in which national security concerns have influenced their approaches to Chinese investments. My article argues that a national security-focused confrontation has emerged between developed East Asian countries and China in the international investment landscape as a result of their shared national security concerns. In order to prevent potential violations of international investment law and promote economic harmony in East Asia, Korea and Japan should refrain from politicising their FIS regimes. AsJCL Volume 20(2) is scheduled for publication in August 2025 and this article will be on the FirstView section of the AsJCL Cambridge Core Page next year. But I can't wait to share an advance copy on Linkedin!

🚀 Excited to Share Our New Open Access Publication! Our latest paper, "Rising Protectionism and Foreign Direct Investment," co-authored with Dongin Kim, is now out in @Review of World Economics! In this study, we analyze how recent shifts toward protectionism in international investment agreements (IIAs) are impacting global FDI flows. Our findings reveal some key trends: - Diminishing Impact of Recent IIAs: Post-2010 investment agreements show limited influence on FDI, signaling a major change in how these agreements function. - Sector-Specific Impacts: Industries like agriculture and construction are more affected by these changes, highlighting the complexity of protectionist policies in different sectors. - Brownfield vs. Greenfield FDI: Terminated IIAs hit brownfield investments harder, showing how these policies shape investment strategies differently. These insights are crucial for policymakers and investors as they navigate an evolving landscape of international investment policies.

Submit your paper to the “Economics of Risk” conference, which will take place 26 - 27 September at the ESM premises in Luxembourg and bring together research investigating the economic implications of uncertainty and risks. In the last 15 years, the global economy has experienced several extreme events including the Global Financial Crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the war in the Gaza Strip and extreme weather events. The human and economic costs have been tremendous.
