Abstract

Bu makale, İran'daki doğrudan yabancı yatırım (FDI) ile ilgili tarihsel bağlamı ve güncel araştırmaları inceleyerek, ülkenin ekonomik gelişimi için kritik önemini vurgulamaktadır. Çalışma, İran'daki FDI'nin evrimine ilişkin kapsamlı bir genel bakış sunarak, özellikle değişen politik, ekonomik ve sosyal manzaralara yanıt olarak zaman içinde yatırım modellerindeki önemli kilometre taşlarını ve değişimleri izlemektedir. Ek olarak, İran ekonomisindeki FDI'nin belirleyicileri ve etkileriyle ilgili mevcut literatürü gözden geçirerek, politik istikrar, düzenleyici çerçeveler ve piyasa potansiyeli gibi önemli faktörlere odaklanmaktadır. Çalışma, FDI'deki dalgalanmaların hem hükümet politikaları ve ekonomik koşullar gibi iç dinamiklere hem de uluslararası ilişkiler ve küresel piyasa eğilimleri gibi dış etkilere nasıl atfedilebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu makale, önceki araştırmaları sentezleyerek, İran'daki FDI'yi çevreleyen karmaşıklıkları aydınlatmayı, ekonomik büyüme, iş yaratma ve teknolojik ilerleme üzerindeki etkisine ilişkin içgörüler sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Dahası, bulgular, daha elverişli bir yatırım ortamını teşvik eden reformları savunarak yatırım çekiciliğini artırmak için stratejik politika çıkarımlarının altını çizmektedir. Sonuç olarak bu makale, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların İran'ın ekonomik gidişatını şekillendirmedeki rolünün ve daha geniş Orta Doğu bölgesi üzerindeki etkilerinin daha derin bir şekilde anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır.

THE EVOLUTION OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN IRAN: DETERMINANTS AND ECONOMIC IMPACT

Abstract

This paper examines the historical context and contemporary research on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Iran, a topic with limited prior research. The study aims to fill this gap by highlighting FDI critical significance for the country's economic development. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of FDI in Iran, tracing key milestones and shifts in investment patterns over time, particularly in response to changing political, economic, and social landscapes. Additionally, it reviews existing literature on the determinants and effects of FDI in the Iranian economy, focusing on crucial factors such as political stability, regulatory frameworks, and market potential. The study reveals how fluctuations in FDI can be attributed to both internal dynamics, such as government policies and economic conditions, and external influences, including international relations and global market trends. By synthesizing previous research, this paper aims to illuminate the complexities surrounding FDI in Iran, offering insights into its impact on economic growth, job creation, and technological advancement. Furthermore, the findings underscore strategic policy implications for enhancing investment attractiveness, advocating for reforms that promote a more favorable investment climate. Ultimately, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of FDI's role in shaping Iran's economic trajectory and its implications for the broader Middle Eastern region.
