Such an analysis has become even more important now in the context of the new international trading regime under the aegis of the WTO which covers issues which have an important bearing on the ability of national governments in regulating the patterns of FDI inflows.  This paper presents some findings of a comprehensive attempt to quantitatively analyse the role of structural, geographical and policy factors in shaping the patterns of MNE activity.  The focus is on the role of host government policies and on the implications of the emerging WTO regime in their light. - Reproduced  aTransnational corporations  aWorld Trade Organization  aInternational trade  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a47439  c47439d47439  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 36, Issue no: 1pAR47867r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
