Resumen

After the end of the Cold War, the developing countries will begin a process of economic and state reforms facing the expansionary impulse of capitalism. This reform is part of the process of economic globalization that had its apogee with the incorporation of new markets after 1991. One of the factors of this impulse to economic globalization will be Foreign Direct Investments (FDI). There is therefore a direct relationship of mutual correspondence between economic globalization and FDI. The FDI had a rapid expansion thanks to globalization, while they helped the globalization process. In this order, the discussion on the role of the State in the face of economic globalization will be decisive. The presence or not of a State considered "neoliberal" will be the variants that are analyzed in this text, considering that the role of the State in the promotion of development and promotion of FDI will be the key in the success or failure of economic policies in China and Argentina.
