Nowadays, FDI plays a catalytic role in the globalization process as a key-element of international relations. Moreover, globalization has contributed significantly to the smooth integration of a number of developing and emerging countries into the world economy. The notable increase in foreign capital flows that observed in the middle of 1980s, was the result of the rapid development of transport, the changes in production methods and the impressive changes in the sector of communications witch facilitated the business mobility. The last 20 years, FDI have become a major source of financing for development, contributing significantly to the economic development of many countries. Asia in particular has benefited greatly from FDI and is the one of the largest recipients of FDI concentrating in 2015 about 30% of global inflows.
