18、FDI)对世界经济的增长做出了重要贡献。虽然外商直接投资最早可以追溯到 18 世纪英国工业革命之时,但直至二战结束后才真正得到了快速发展。而作为英国殖民地的澳大利亚,自 1788 年英国人建立殖民地起,就开始了利用外资发展经济的历程。在 1901 年澳大利亚联邦建立之后,独立的外商投资政策开始形成,并在第二次世界大战后逐步趋于完善。然而,纵观澳大利亚外商投资政策的发展历程,澳大利亚政府在对待外资的态度和政策上并非始终如一。甚至在20世纪70年代以前,经过将近200年的发展,澳大利亚都没有颁布具体的法律来管理外商投资。而从 70 年代开始,澳大利亚政府不仅颁布法律,设立机构来管理外资,并且在相对

19、较短的时期内,使政策不断发生转变。在二战后外商直接投资得到快速发展之时,澳大利亚从奇夫利政府到霍华德政府的外商直接投资政策分别是什么?这些政策都有什么特点?是什么原因促使政府对政策做出调整?本文从外商投资的定义出发,以当前主流的国际直接投资理论为依据,采用参考历史文献和利用官方统计数据相结合的方法,详细阐述了从1945年到2007年澳大利亚政府在外商直接投资上的态度和政策,并分析了导致这些态度和政策转变的原因,同时利用数据说明这些转变对澳大利亚引入外商直接投资政策的影响,从而回答上面提出的问题。文中所反映的事实充分表明,在战后 60 多年的时间里,澳大利亚在引入外商直接投资政策上经历了三个阶段

20、,分别是门户开放阶段、限制阶段和自由化阶段,并从最初的欢迎外商直接投资演变为鼓励和审查并存的局面。虽然总理和财政部长在对待外商直接投资的问题上扮演着举足轻重的角色,但影响政策走向,使其在短时期内不断变化的更深层次的原因则是澳大利亚利用外资发展经济的需求和国内经济民族主义的相互作用。在 2007 年霍华德任期结束时的鼓励和审查并存的局面,正是这两种因素相互妥协的结果。关键词:澳大利亚,外商直接投资,政策 v AbstractstThe first decade of the 21 century has witnessed the development of globalization bec

24、es of Australia reveals that the Australian official attitudes towards, and policies of, foreign investment were not always consistent. Even after approximately 200 years of settlement, there were no specific laws issued by the government to supervise foreign investment before the 1970s. From the 19

25、70s, nonetheless, the government not only introduced laws and established institutions to govern foreign investment, but also improved the policies over FDI in comparatively short periods. What were the policies of the Australian governments from Ben Chifley to John Howard in the post-war era when F

26、DI developed rapidly? What were the characteristics of them? What were the reasons behind the changes of the policiesBased on the definition of foreign investment, the theories of FDI as the theoretic foundation, and relevant historic reviews and official statistics, this dissertation is intended to

27、 explore the Australian governments attitudes towards and policies over FDI from 1945 to 2007, and analyze the reasons behind the changes and the impacts of the alterations on the inward FDI polices of Australia, so that the questions proposed above can be answered. In general, Australia has experie

28、nced three stages in relation to its FDI policies in the phase under study, namely, the open door period, the restriction period and the liberalization period, and shifted from a welcoming stance to the coexistence of encouragement and examinationThough the Prime Minister and the Treasurer played im

29、portant roles in FDI decision making, vi the more deeply-rooted reasons affecting the FDI policies were the dual impacts of the economic need for foreign investment and the growing economic nationalism.

Foreign direct investment FDI, as one of the significant driving forces of economic globalization, contributes a lot to the growth of the world economy. Although it can thbe traced back to the first half of the 18 century when England was accelerati

40、ng its Industrial Revolution, the real and rapid development of international direct investment did not unveil until the end of World War Two. As one of the British colonies in the colonial era, Australia used to make use of foreign capital to develop its national economy since British colonists est

41、ablished their settlement in 1788. After the foundation of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, independent foreign investment policies gradually took shape and grew faster after the Second World War. In particular, the Foreign Investment Review Board FIRB was established and laws and regulations

42、like the Foreign Takeovers Act 1975 were introducedAustralia is now attracting investors from every corner of the world with its abundant natural resources, political stability and strictly rule-based financial system. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD report

43、, in 2005 Australia was one of the most preferred locations for foreign affiliates of the top 50 financial Transnational Corporations TNCs, ranking 6th ahead of developed countries and economies such as Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore and Japan. In 2007, The International Institute for Management Devel

44、opment IMD released its World Competitiveness Yearbook 2007 WCY 2007, indicating that Australia had been ranked the most resilient economy in the world for five of the past six years, that is, 2001-06. In accordance with the Australian Trade Commission Austrade, Australias inbound FDI increased by 1

45、0% in 2009, amounting to A$ 436 billionIn WCY 2010, Australia ranked the fifth most competitive nation in the world. It can be rightly claimed on the basis of these figures that Australia has become an attractive host country of foreign investmentHowever, the FDI into Australia was not governed by p

46、olicies at the very beginning of the white settlement on the continent. In fact, not until the mid-1970s did the Australian 1 government issue its laws to supervise FDI as well as other foreign investments. Though the official policies and attitudes towards FDI into Australia lasted over 200 years,

47、the legal governance of FDI and other foreign investments was no more than 40 years long. These policies, attitudes and laws have undergone modifications and alterations over time, which demonstrated dissimilar traits under altered governments in different times. Meanwhile, given the fact that FDI of the world did not achieve real and rapid development until the post-war era, the inbound FDI of Australia also had the same pace with that of the world, so its inward FDI policies after the Second World War play
