FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS, CULTURAL HERITAGE AND PUBLIC- PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP: A BETTER APPROACH FOR INVESTORS?

The aim of this research is to analyze the influence and propose arguments for using the PPP framework for
FDI projects, directly or indirectly connected to cultural heritage. In the literature overview we analyze topics of
determinants and barriers to FDI, relations between FDI, cultural heritage, PPP, project and country risk management.
Then, four business cases of FDI in connection to cultural heritage are presented and evaluated through the
lens of the previous theoretical findings. The main conclusion is that the use of the PPP framework can add value
to FDI projects in connection to cultural heritage.
