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.

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 …

Is The United States Ready For Fdi From China? Overview, Karl P. Sauvant

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 …
