This paper aims to analyze changes in foreign direct investment (FDI) capital flows
in North America from 1990 to 2000. I would like to examine whether FDI has the
same regionalizing tendencies as foreign trade. However the process in that case is more
complex ; since centripetal forces (incoming flows to North America) as centrifugal
(outgoing flows) are both at work. With Mexico as a point of reference, I will also
analyze some of the main characteristics and tendencies of FDI, as well as its impact on
the Mexican economy. (suite dans le document joint)
