Resumo

Foreign direct investment (FDI) made on a large scale by emerging market firms has become usual in today's business world. Host country political risk can still be a crucial criterion considering the motivation types for the investment.

The overall purpose of this article is to examine the effects of political risk on FDI from private and state-owned Chinese companies in Latin American Countries.

We identified no different effect from Political Risk in SOE or POE investment. Only when analyzing the FDI motives, we suggest differences when resource-seeking relations are negative.

This article contends that examining Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) and its intersection with political risk in Latin America will yield substantial implications for forthcoming theory construction and empirical endeavors within the global strategy research community.
