The Enclave Economy: Foreign Investment and Sustainable Development in Mexico's Silicon Valley
Global Policy Innovations Event
Kevin Gallagher

Description:

Foreign investment has been widely perceived as a panacea for developing countries, a way to reduce poverty and kick-start sustainable modern industries. The Enclave Economy calls this prescription into question, showing that Mexico's post-NAFTA experience of foreign direct investment in its information technology sector, particularly in the Guadalajara region, did not result in the expected benefits.

Charting the rise and fall of Mexico's "Silicon Valley," Kevin Gallagher and his co-author explore issues that resonate through much of Latin America and the developing world: the social, economic, and environmental effects of market-driven globalization.
