Experts’ Workshop: Governance-Investment Interactions in Developing Countries

The logic of analysing “governance-investment interactions” is to identify and explain which governance institutions and practices have an important influence on the behaviour of investors, and how those institutions and practices exercise that influence in the country.

The likelihood, in any country, that some investors (acting overtly or covertly, individually or collectively, through economic or political channels) are investing significant resources in attempts to shape and influence --  including attempts to “capture” -- governance institutions and practices that impinge on their profits means there can also be an important reverse causal relationship between investors’ behaviour and governance institutions and practices.
