There have been beliefs that the globalization, which has ruled the world for several decades, is no longer its driving force. As a response to global challenges and problems the slowbalisation concept has been created. The concept, as it is follows from its name, is a reverse process to globalization. The slowbalisation appears in a slower economic growth, local supply chains, and decline of foreign direct investment. However, the explanation of the slowbalisation concept, as far as its theoretical basis is yet to be made.
The objective of this research was to study signs of the slowblisation process, based on the analysis of one of the indexes of the concept- the decline of FDI values, and to draw a conclusion about the ability to trace the slowbalisation in the world.
The research was conducted using mixed method approach. The research question of the study formed the exploratory purpose of the study, on a par with longitudinal analysis, which was selected as a response to the need of analyzing different decades. Thus, the archival information was collected from the public available sources of different databases.
The analysis showed the uneven development of investment values in different regions. FDI fluctuation was caused by different international or regional social, economic, or political reasons. Thus, some regions have experienced the decline, while others have not. Thus, the researcher concluded that based on FDI fluctuations analysis, the signs of slowbalisation cannot be found in each region.
Recommendations for future research were made. These include exploring and comparing all indexes of slowbalistion process as well as analysis of the concept on macro- and microeconomic levels.
