Foreign Investment in the Petroleum and Mineral Industries : Case Studies of Investor-Host Country Relations (Rff Global Environment and Development Set)

Raymond F. Mikesell deals with sources of conflict between private foreign investors and the governments of developing countries. He concludes that government ownership and control will expand and that foreign investors are most likely to become sellers of their special services rather than remain investors who act freely for the benefit of parent companies.
