Automotive FDI in Emerging Europe

Více o knize

Focusing on the surge of automotive assembly plants in former Socialist Central Europe since 1989, the book details how major automakers capitalized on lower labor costs and government incentives to establish over 20 assembly complexes. This shift led to a significant decline in passenger car production in Western Europe while increasing by nearly 170% in Central and Eastern Europe from 2001 to 2015. Through case studies of 25 plants, the author provides a historical perspective that will benefit policymakers and scholars in various fields.
