International Business Expansion Into Less-Developed Countries

For the first time, here is the complete history of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). In the fifty years since the end of World War II, the world of development finance has grown rapidly. One of the many financial institutions which cropped up to help war-torn countries with their reconstruction was the IFC. Covering its thirty-five years of operations, this book thoroughly evaluates the formulation of the concept of the IFC and its evolution as a viable global development finance agency. International Business Expansion Into Less-Developed Countries examines the success of the IFC in its wide variety of public sector development activities, making it the most complete and up-to-date treatment available of the IFC.
