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

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 …
