Abstract

International financial flows do not circulate randomly between countries. Instead, they do so through a complex mapping of spatial relationships, where financial institutions play an important role. This mobility generates a significant impact on the regions where it crosses through, which goes beyond the economic sphere and determines the political relations between the various states involved. This article aims to identify some features of the spatial structure of international financial flows to Spain in the form of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
