Abstract
This chapter pays particular attention to the significance of outward FDI institutional development concerning the role of the home institutions and the home government as a key institution in the context of China and Russia. The chapter’s insights are expressed in the form of propositions, an analytical framework and a model derived from existing perspectives and empirical data. First, a review of the scale of outward FDI from China and Russia and the relevance of the home government policy to the creation of institutional systems supporting outward FDI is presented.
