 Abstract: A variety of foreign-led economies emerged in Central and Eastern Europe in the late 1990s. State
economic strategies in the Visegrad Four region (V4) of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and
Poland have converged towards a distinct model of competition states. This article investigates the
politics of investment attraction and promotion of particular investors within the states and regions in
Central and Eastern Europe. It analyses coalitions of social actors which form in the process of bidding
for investors and promoting them in the regions. These coalitions, the investment-promotion machines,
can be understood as power blocs underpinning the competition state at the regional level. The analysis
draws primarily on case studies of attraction and promotion of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the
Czech Republic and Slovakia.
