      abstract = {This book introduces an interdisciplinary approach to the  study of Japanese foreign direct investment determinants,  the close relations between foreign investment and trade  flows in the host country, and the effects and responses by  the local economy. It provides an accessible and  comprehensive view of the overall macro impacts and local  effects associated with the increasing flow of Japanese  firms to Mexico's automotive industry. The research and its  outcomes presented here follow extensive fieldwork and use  unique statistical datasets to integrate qualitative and  quantitative approaches to the analysis. Carefully chosen  case studies produce an integrated approach to the subject.  As a result, the book fills a vacuum on this topic and  provides readers with a clear understanding of the complex  interactions among participating actors: Japanese  multinationals and Japanese parts-and-components suppliers,  Mexican local suppliers, government at the national and  local levels, and cooperating Japanese agencies. By  critically assessing current theories and empirical  methodologies the monograph covers aspects related to the  creation of regional production networks and their impact  on trade patterns of the recipient country, location  determinants of Japanese foreign investment, and spillover  externalities in host entities. It presents the reader with  a comprehensive view of the different levels of interaction  between multinational firms, local recipient economies, and  local suppliers and the challenges they face to engage in  global chains of production. The book is highly recommended  to academics and their students who seek to understand the  complex international economic relations in the global  economy. This compilation also serves as a valuable guide  to policy makers, both at national and local levels, as it  provides an informed analysis of how to engage local  suppliers in regional and global production chains.--},
