Aspects Of Soviet Law On Joint Ventures, Foreign Trade, And Investment: A Bibliographic Survey Of Current Literature In English, Igor L. Kavass
Aspects Of Soviet Law On Joint Ventures, Foreign Trade, And Investment: A Bibliographic Survey Of Current Literature In English, Igor L. Kavass
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The following is a compilation of works from widely dispersed sources in legal, economic, and business literature, including significant pronouncements made by professors, practicing lawyers, business people, and students. Journal articles are the predominant genre, and we have found it expedient to organize the gamut of views represented therein into several sections. With the growing consolidation and maturity of joint venture practices, the trend in publication is moving towards monographs, legislative compilations, practice manuals, and lengthy theoretical works. They appear to be phasing out articles from their place at the forefront of research.
All the same, the reader eventually will …

It examines an attempt in the Uruguay Round to negotiate rules on foreign direct investment - the so-called trade-related investment measures (TRIMs) negotiations. Foreign direct investment is often a stage in the internationalization of enterprises; it is helpful to the trade of goods producers and necessary to the trade of many services providers. Affected by the output-oriented history of the GATT, however, the Contracting Parties have treated investment as though it were simply one of three legs of an economic triangle: goods, services, investment. In …
Renegotiating Transnational Investment Agreements: Lessons For Develping Countries From The Ghana-Valco Experience, Paul Kuruk
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article describes the use of the renegotiation process to resolve problems that arise in the relations between participants in transnational investment. It draws conclusions from the successful renegotiation of an agreement executed in 1962 under which the Ghanaian government guaranteed bauxite and hydroelectric power supplies to support the smelting operations of the Volta Aluminium Company, Limited (Valco) in return for revenues from taxes and from payments for electricity, water, and use of the country's port facilities. The agreement between Ghana and Valco was entered into as part of the Volta River Project (VRP). This project was an investment scheme …
