"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Overseas/Overnight Markets
U.S. stock index futures fell, taking a cue from European and Asian
markets, as worries over global growth prospects and the outcome of
Greece’s private-sector bond swap later this week weigh on sentiment.
There is no U.S. economic data on the docket today.
European stocks dropped, with banks and resource stocks among the
`largest detractors. A report released this morning showed a 0.3% Q/Q
contraction in the euro-area economy in Q4, confirming an initial estimate
published on February 15. Large declines in investment, exports and
consumer spending were to blame for the overall GDP contraction. Also
weighing on investors was a memo from the Institute of International
Finance that warned that a disorderly default would cause the euro zone
more than 1 trillion euros ($1.36 trillion) in damage, Reuters reported. The
report also stated that a default would likely force Italy and Spain to seek
aid to prevent being engulfed in the region’s debt crisis.
Private investors that have declared their participation in Greece’s debt
restructuring hold about 20% of the bonds involved in a swap, the creditors’
stering committee said yesterday. The goal of the swap, which runs
through March 8, is to reduce the amount of privately-held Greek debt by
53.5% and help secure Greece’s second rescue package.
Asian stocks fell sharply, with miners among the top declines, following
global markets lower on growth concerns. The Hang Seng shed 2.2%,
while the Shanghai Composite fell 1.4%. Japan’s Nikkei gave up a more
modest 0.6%.
North American Market Highlights & Headlines
Aecon Group Inc. (ARE-T) reported a 143% increase in quarterly earnings
on Monday as margins improved on lower costs. Aecon reported EPS of
$0.49, up from $0.20 a year ago. Revenue in the quarter was $790 million,
down from $841 million, and well shy of the $859 million consensus
estimate. Aecon's backlog stood at $2.39 billion at December 31, 2011.

company earnings and the latest oil inventory data. Major companies scheduled to
report their earnings today include Allergan, GlaxoSmithKline, Time Warner and
Prudential Financial.

concerns over political risks in Europe and the United States. The Shanghai Composite
Index and Hang Seng Index closed near their 1 month highs led by financials stocks
while the Nikkei 225 was up 0.51%.
European stocks are mixed as investors digested a slew of corporate earnings results

Company Headlines
BlackBerry Ltd.(BB-T) is opening up some of its secure messaging and file sharing
technology for developers to use in building apps, creating a new revenue stream for the
company as it works to boost sales. The Waterloo, Ontario-based company said the
software development kit it is releasing this month will include tools for building chat
apps. BlackBerry joins a crew of companies already offering similar services
including Twilio Inc., Bandwidth.com Inc., Nexmo Inc. and Plivo. The key differentiator
for BlackBerry though, will be its reputation for security.
Dow Chemical Co. (DOW-N) and DuPont Co. have offered to sell businesses to gain
approval from the European Union’s antitrust watchdog for their tie-up. The
merger, announced in December 2015, would unite the two giants, creating a business
with a combined market capitalization of roughly US$120 billion, before splitting into
three separate companies. It has faced delays as antitrust regulators sought reams of
information concerning the companies’ competing businesses in insecticides,
weedkillers and crop seeds. The companies have offered to dispose of a portion of
DuPont’s crop protection business and associated research and development, as well as
Dow’s acid copolymers and ionomers business.
Sanofi SA (SNY-N) has addressed all the manufacturing deficiencies at the French
plant where its new, promising rheumatoid arthritis treatment will be produced. In
October, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejected sarilumab, a treatment being
developed jointly by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., over deficiencies
found at the plant. The plant in Normandy, northern France, will also manufacture
Dupilumab, a new treatment for severe forms of eczema that is slated for U.S. regulatory
approval this year
