AB  - Public administrations all over the world are interested in
attracting more foreign direct investment to their regions. For many
governments, however, especially those in developing countries, this
new‐found enthusiasm towards promoting investment appears to be at odds
with an historical emphasis on closely controlling foreign investment.
This study examines the manner in which ten developing countries manage
foreign investment in order to assess the extent to which the functions
of promoting and controlling foreign investment substitute for, or
complement, each other. The data suggest that most governments in
developing countries do view promotion and control as functions that do
not co‐exist well. The experiences of a few countries, however,
demonstrate that under the right conditions these separate functions can
be carried out even within the same organisation.
