Abstract

Case studies of certain FDI and free zone promotion agencies developed in this paper are the fruit of direct observation of Mediterranean agencies (participation in Agency work groups in 2007, 2008 and 2012 In the context of the Invest in Med programme of the European Commission, as well as interviews with the agencies during the Invest in Med work groups, the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) between 2009 and 2010 in the context of studies for the French Embassy in Riyadh, and participative observation for the Emirate cases (in the context of a consultancy contract between 2010 and 2011 for the Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority, which notably allowed me to participate in the Global Free Trade & Special Economic Zones Summit in the UAE in 2011, and to observe and participate in the work of agencies in free zones, plus interviews made with General Managers of the main free zones in Dubai, JAFZA, DAFZA, Silicon Oasis and TECOM, and a current research contract for RAK FTZ).
