Mirage In The Gulf?: Examining The Upsurge In Fdi In The Gcc And Its Legal And Economic Implications For The Mena Region, Jordan E. Toone
Mirage In The Gulf?: Examining The Upsurge In Fdi In The Gcc And Its Legal And Economic Implications For The Mena Region, Jordan E. Toone
Jordan E. Toone
Between 2002 and 2010, foreign direct investment (“FDI”) exploded in the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”). Between 2002 and 2008 alone, FDI in the GCC increased over 3800%, outpacing both the developed and developing world by a significant margin. Although recent data suggests that FDI has declined in the GCC since 2010, scholars have yet to proffer nuanced analyses of the upsurge in FDI between 2002 and 2010. In general, the literature has not adequately examined the relatively dramatic increase in FDI in the GCC insofar as it has focused on pre-2002 data, failed to distinguish between FDI trends in the …

Inward And Outward Fdi Country Profiles, Second Edition
Karl P. Sauvant
The key role MNEs play in the global economy through international investment, and the changing landscape of such investment as MNEs as well as host and home economies adjust to changing conditions and objectives, make it important to understand trends and developments with respect to FDI and the policy context in which they take place. This second edition of country profiles seeks to contribute to such an understanding by bringing together, in a single collection, the country profiles on inward and outward FDI prepared as part of the Columbia FDI Profiles series. Authored and peer-reviewed by scholars from around the …

51 % Fdi In Multi Brand Retail: After The Inevitable, Maurya Vijay Chandra
Maurya Vijay Chandra
The government has finally shown its resoluteness. The Indian market is now open for the investment in multi brand retail. The immediate reactions of various stakeholders are along expected lines. The left is afraid of the farmers being armtwisted in the long run; the industry is happy; the government basking in the glory of having overcome its "policy paralysis" and the political opponents have reasons to celebrate as they have unique "opt-in" leverage.

This comprehensive two-volume work is a collection of determinations from OPIC, the US governmental political risk insurance provider, in the form of its Memoranda of Determinations from 1966 to 2010.

The determinations reflect the decisions of OPIC under US and international law and therefore have a significant impact on its future claims determinations. They reveal what types of claims have …
The Evolving International Investment Regime: Expectations, Realities, Options
The Evolving International Investment Regime: Expectations, Realities, Options
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. As might be expected, the international investment regime now competes with the World Trade Organization for global praise and criticism. This volume looks at how these treaties and investor-state arbitrations that apply them accommodate the different expectations of various stockholders, including governments, foreign investors and civil society. The volume’s diverse authors focus especially on the views of developing countries and international civil society. They address the extent to which …

The Regulatory Framework For Investment: Where Are We Headed?, Karl P. Sauvant
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 …

Drawing The Right Lessons From Icsid Jurisprudence On The Doctrine Of Necessity, Amin George Forji
Drawing The Right Lessons From Icsid Jurisprudence On The Doctrine Of Necessity, Amin George Forji
Amin George Forji
Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) have over the years injected an important dynamic into public international law, that is, the replacement of a political remedy (peaceful cooperation amongst nations) by a legal one (settlement of investment disputes). The institution of ICSID and the revision of BITs in line with its rules have opened the way for direct investors’ claims and investor-state arbitration. The obvious implication of a compulsory arbitration provision is that it has made up for many shortcomings of the diplomatic protection mechanism with, “the potential for an individual …
The Adoption Of Intellectual Property Standards Beyond Trips – A Misguided Legal & Economic Obsession By Developing Countries?, Ferris K. Nesheiwat
The Adoption Of Intellectual Property Standards Beyond Trips – A Misguided Legal & Economic Obsession By Developing Countries?, Ferris K. Nesheiwat
Ferris K Nesheiwat
This paper looks at the effect intellectual property standards have had on technology transfers in Jordan, in light of the implementation of stricter intellectual property standards with the adoption of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS)' and "TRIPS-plus" standards. Both the TRIPS and TRIPS-plus standards ushered in new legal requirements, which were justified and marketed under the theoretical assumption that greater protections of intellectual property rights are essential to both technology transfer and investment promotion. This paper intends to examine the level of technology transfer and the flow of intellectual property-related foreign direct investment into Jordan …

Is The United States Ready For Fdi From China? Overview, Karl P. Sauvant
Karl P. Sauvant
The United States has one of the most open investment frameworks in the world. However, developing an appropriate regulatory and political strategy is particularly important for Chinese MNEs entering the US through M&As as opposed to greenfield investments. As these MNEs navigate the US political landscape and face the liability of foreignness, they are also offered protection through a state-to-state dispute settlement mechanism and applicable international investment agreements (IIAs). Through a thorough understanding of the US’s regulatory framework, compliance training, integration in communities through linkages, working with local partners who understand US regulations, and attention to CSR, China’s firm can …

Foreign Direct Investment From Emerging Markets: The Challenges Ahead
Karl P. Sauvant
Foreign direct investment from emerging markets is an increasingly important phenomenon; firms from developed countries alone no longer undertake this activity. This volume provides the latest scholarship on this subject from eminent contributors from around the world. This volume demonstrates the importance of rigorous analysis to understand the dilemmas, the controversies, the disputes, and the policy issues that need to be considered in connection with this new phenomenon. In the wake of the financial crisis, it is more critical than ever for those involved in FDI research and policy to understand these issues.

The BRICs, leading home countries among emerging markets, face a steep learning curve to meet the internationalization challenge, the host country challenge and the home country challenge. Each challenge requires an in-depth understanding of outward FDI and policy implications related to these challenges.
