Abstract
This article proposes an analytical framework for the study of the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on development. This case-by-case approach, based primarily on qualitative techniques, is aimed at assessing the final effects of FDI on the different aspects of socioeconomic development, as well as constructing a narrative of what occurs inside the “black box” of FDI and development. As a research tool for analysing specific investment projects, it has been used to guide a series of case studies between 2010 and 2013 (in this case, the tourism sector in Dominican Republic), showing that relevant policy-oriented conclusions can be drawn by analysing FDI using this methodology.
Résumé
Cet article présente un cadre d'analyse pour l’étude des effets de l'investissement direct étranger (IDE) sur le développement socioéconomique. Cette approche au cas par cas, qui repose principalement sur des méthodes qualitatives, vise à évaluer les effets de l'IDE sur différents aspects du développement socioéconomique ainsi qu’à structurer un récit sur les relations entre l'IDE et le développement. Elle a servi d'outil de recherche pour analyser une série de projets d'investissements entre 2010 et 2013. Nous présentons ici une de ces études de cas qui porte sur le tourisme en République dominicaine, afin de montrer que des orientations politiques pertinentes peuvent être tirées de l'analyse de l'IDE en utilisant cette méthodologie.

Notes
10. Noteworthy: Blalock and Gertler (Citation2005) complement the analysis of survey data with interviews with firm managers in order to assess vertical technological transfer in Indonesian factories. This qualitative and quantitative approach proves to be a good example of the explanatory potential of case studies based on a mix of different research methodologies.
14. Actually, Rugraff, Sánchez-Ancochea, and Sumner (Citation2009a) compile several works with a wide geographical coverage, including case studies on Costa Rica (Sánchez-Ancochea Citation2009), India (Pedersen Citation2009; Tiwari Citation2009; Haakonsson Citation2009), Africa (Crabtree and Sumner Citation2009), Central Europe (Rugraff Citation2009), South Africa and Mali (Mainguy and Jeppesen Citation2009), Vietnam (Vind Citation2009), and Ghana (Larsen, Yankson, and Fold Citation2009). This book also takes into account the sector differentiation, with case studies on different sectors: electronics (Vind Citation2009); mining (Larsen, Yankson, and Fold Citation2009); and the pharmaceutical industry (Haakonsson Citation2009).

19. According to this author, case studies contribute to general knowledge (1) by generating new hypotheses through the observation of cases that do not fit in an existing theory; (2) by testing an existing theory in a most/least likely case; (3) as a plausibility probe, before engaging in a costly and time-consuming research effort (Levy Citation2008, 5–6).
20. For further thinking on the “metaphorical” or “prototypical” value of paradigmatic case studies, see Flyvbjerg (Citation2006).
21. Mechanisms are typified sequences of events that can be triggered in diverse scenarios, appearing as the consequence of the confluence of different factors.
22. Following Dexter's (Citation2006) definition and recommendations for conducting qualitative research. Piore's (Citation2006) requisites for case studies have also been respected.

25. In the early 1980s, FDI inflows were less than USD100 million; by the end of the 2000s they were more than USD1 billion. FDI has been present in the tourism sector since the 1980s and grew an average of 12 per cent per year between 1993 and 2006. Between 2001 and 2006, tourism represented the main sector in terms of FDI inflows, accounting USD1.174 billion, out of a total USD5.724 billion. It is estimated that foreign investment accounts for more than 60 per cent of total cumulative investment in the sector (UNCTAD Citation2009).
26. According to UNDP (Citation2005) the tourism sector was 15 times larger in 2003 than 20 years earlier, when foreign investors first arrived, and its contribution to the GDP grew in that time from 1 per cent to 8 per cent. In terms of employment, this represented more than 140,000 jobs.
30. According to OMLAD (Citation2009), while only 32 per cent of the total Dominican labour force is women, in the hotel sector they represent more than 50 per cent.
31. Between 1981 and 2003, tourism production increased at a yearly rate of 9.4 per cent, while employment in the sector increased at 5.9 per cent. Tourism's contribution to the GDP rose from 1.3 per cent in 1980 to 6.8 in 2000 (UNDP Citation2005, 76). According to Fanelli and Guzman (Citation2008), there has been a drastic change in the country's profile of comparative advantages which, from a sector approach, is related to the transfer of resources from export-oriented agriculture to more productive sectors like free zone industries and tourism.
