Karl P. Sauvant
The transboundary flow of capital directed at establishing businesses is the engine of the world economy. Approximately 3,000 bilateral and regional investment protection treaties worldwide govern this driver of economic globalization.

The Regulatory Framework For Investment: Where Are We Headed?, Karl P. Sauvant
Karl P. Sauvant
Governments throughout the world have sought, and are seeking, to attract foreign direct investment and, for that purposed, have liberalized their national regulatory frameworks for FDI and established a strong international investment law regime. However, there are signs that, as a result of a number of important developments(which are being discussed in some detail in this chapter), governments are reevaluating their stance toward FDI, or at least certain types of it. This re-evaluation has found its expression in a number of regulatory changes that may eventually lead to a regime that balances the rights of investors and host countries in …
