Abstract- This study examines global trends in foreign investment attraction from 2014 to 2023. Bibliographic analysis shows that the number of foreign investment publications increased significantly with an annual growth rate of 8.06%. Factors affecting foreign investment attractiveness include business environment, financial policies, and institutional quality, with countries with strong democratic structures being more attractive to investors than authoritarian countries. The study also identified the most influential authors and institutions and noted the high level of international cooperation between them. However, there are still gaps in the literature regarding technology adoption and the comparison between FDI and portfolio investment. Future research is recommended to further investigate the factors that influence foreign investment and the characteristics of investment in different policy contexts.
