Abstract
One of the manifestations of the increasing integration of the world economy is the emergence of certain regional centres of expertise in which foreign firms locate production, to serve not only the domestic market but also the markets of neighbouring countries.

About the same time, India emerged as a potential location from which US and European MNEs could serve markets in South-East Asia, the Middle East and East Africa.
