Özet
Purpose - This study aims to assess the situation of a nascent field of research dealing with the impact of nationalism on foreign direct investment (FDI) by providing a general overview of the field, critically reviewing the literature to identify the gaps and making suggestions for future research directions. Design/methodology/approach - This study uses a combination of a bibliometric analysis and a critical literature review. A total of 154 papers were included in the sample. They were selected from the Web of Science database based on specific criteria. Findings - The study concluded with the presentation of the key descriptive information - most prolific authors, journals, affiliations, countries and disciplines; number of publications per year; and most cited articles - from the bibliometric analysis to illustrate the structure of the literature. Moreover, the critical discussion focused on six main categories: constituents of nationalism, types of nationalism, relevant ideologies, related actors, outcomes of nationalism and the contexts investigated. Furthermore, the need for further empirical research to shed light on the relationship between nationalism and FDI was emphasized and suggestions for future research directions were made. Originality/value - This study represents one of the pioneering attempts to comprehensively examine the relationship between nationalism and FDI. Moreover, the systematic review of the methodical sections of the articles examined and the suggestions made have the potential to contribute to improving the quality of future research in this area.
