This paper presents the latest research development in international construction project (ICP) domain from 1995 to 2014 as revealed in the construction management related journals. A systematic document retrieval method was employed to collect relevant articles. The identified papers were analyzed by using bibliometric analysis comprising the investigation of the number of publication, the main originators of the research contributions, their affiliations, the most cited papers, and the sources of research funding as well as the research methods used. Ninety-eight relevant articles obtained from 12 major journals associated with construction management studies were successfully assessed. The results show an upward trend with some fluctuations during the period and the bibliometric information of ICP studies was successfully presented.

Research was undertaken to determine the major risk factors associated with international construction–consulting joint ventures (ICJVs) formed in the English-speaking Caribbean (ESC) with construction and consulting firms from Canada and the United States of America. The three highest ranked reasons for forming ICJVs are to improve competitive positions, enter new markets, and share risks and (or) profits. The three highest ranked benefits of the ICJVs are to enhance competitive position, obtain new work, and increase market share. There was some correlation between reasons for entering into these relationships and their perceived benefits. The three highest ranked risks were loss because of bureaucracy for late approvals, project delay, and cash flow problems of the client. The 10 highest ranked risks for both English-speaking Caribbean and North American firms were identical although the ranks changed slightly.Key words: construction management, international, risk factors, joint ventures, success factors.
