This book was released on 2018 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broad standards and vague provisions in International Investment Agreements (hereinafter “IIAs”) give rise to costly litigation and create openings for tribunals to give unintended or incorrect interpretations to treaty provisions. In order to alleviate the risk above, a number of recent investment agreements have adopted the practice to incorporate the joint interpretation mechanism into the contexts, either through designing a specific organ or granting the contracting states the interpretive authority to issue binding joint interpretation on contentious provisions. The ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreements (hereinafter “ACIA”), as the Agreement governing investment relationships in the ASEAN, also provides the ten contracting states the authority to shape their mutual understandings on ambiguous provisions through issuing binding joint interpretations. Pursuant to the ACIA, due to the lack of a specific organ to be responsible for issuing joint interpretations, the article aims to explore the potential obstacles in terms of the implementation of the joint interpretation mechanism in the region, subsequently several pragmatic steps for facilitating the ACIA contracting states' usage of the mechanism will be proposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA) has entered into force in March 2012, as a comprehensive investment treaty at regional level, part of the realisation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Among other international investment agreements (IIAs) concluded by ASEAN Members States, it speculatively allows addressing legal questions relating to foreign investment in a more systematic manner and enables placing national investment law in the context of regional governance. This paper give firstly the overview of ASEAN investment regime, it subsequently challenges the pluralist perception and argues that the ASEAN investment landscape is becoming increasingly multifaceted and complex. It finally observes that despite the highly fragmentation of the ASEAN investment treaties, the dynamic of intra-investment regime favours consistent and predictable rules and becomes, to a greater or lesser extent, basis for the ASEAN extra-investment approach.

Download or read book The Protection of General Interests of Host States in Regional Agreements in the Asia Pacific Area written by Claudio Dordi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter analyzes the provisions to improve regulatory discretion of member States included in regional investment agreement of the Asia-Pacific region. The analysis will be limited to the regional agreements only, excluding the Bilateral Investment Treaties which, in general, do not contain relevant derogatory provisions. In this context, a central role is played by the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) that, since 1987, promoted the conclusion of an Investment Guarantee Agreement among the 6 States at the time members of ASEAN. However, only after the conclusion of the ASEAN Charter in 2008, which provided a more solid institutional profile to ASEAN as well as the international legal personality, ASEAN concluded a number of investment agreements: the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (among ASEAN members), and a number of agreements with third countries (China, Korea, Australia and New Zealand). All the agreements are focused exclusively on investment, with the exception of the agreement with Australia and New Zealand, which is part of a more comprehensive free trade agreement.

Download or read book The Interpretation of Investment Treaties written by Trinh Hai Yen and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the context of an exponential proliferation of investment treaties with virtually uniform language and structure, The Interpretation of Investment Treaties by Trinh Hai Yen reveals the neglect or misapplication of international rules on treaty interpretation by tribunals in arbitral cases. Such practice has raised the question of the legitimacy of the interpretative process and the engendered inconsistent interpretations of investment treaties. The book proposes three interpretative approaches aimed at ensuring that adjudicators find legitimate meaning in the challenging generality and vagueness of investment treaty language. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of legislative solutions for states through a case study of the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement, as well as a comparative analysis of modern and traditional investment treaties.
Download or read book ASEAN written by S Tiwari and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2010 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the completion of the ASEAN Charter, ASEAN needs to fully appreciate and work out the issues connected with its implementation. It is also important for ASEAN and its business sector to understand and implement the two newly completed key integration instruments (the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement and the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement 2009) and the business enhancing initiatives envisaged under them. Both areas of work have taken on added urgency in view of ASEAN's goal of putting in place an ASEAN Economic Community by 2015. This is the first book which examines both the above issues, the problems related to them and possible solutions. "Mr Tiwari is a legal authority on ASEAN. This book is an important contribution to ASEAN law." - Professor Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at- Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore. "The ASEAN Charter, and the economic integration of the ASEAN nations that the Charter will support, are essential to grow the competitiveness of the region. Mr Tiwari provides keen insights into the development of this emerging framework and of the challenges that remain." - Phillip Overmyer, Chief Executive, Singapore International Chamber of Commerce. "I have known Mr Tiwari as a legal authority and a friend for over twenty years. I would like to congratulate him for having chosen to share his knowledge on ASEAN law through this book. Knowledge of the ASEAN Charter and the instruments underpinning ASEAN integration would be of immense benefit to people in the business sector as ASEAN moves towards forming an ASEAN Economic Community by 2015." - Jennie Chua, Chairperson, Singapore International Chamber of Commerce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Investment Treaties and Arbitration Across Asia brings together leading academics and practitioners to examine whether and how the Asian region has or may become a significant ‘rule maker’ in contemporary international investment law and dispute resolution. The editors introduce FDI trends and regulations, investment treaties and arbitration across Asia. Authors add country studies for the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as well as an overview of ASEAN treaties, or examine other potential ‘middle powers’ (Korea, Australia and New Zealand collectively) and the emerging ‘big players’ (China, Japan and India). Two early chapters present econometric studies of treaty impact on FDI flows, in aggregate as well as for Thailand, while two concluding chapters offer other normative and forward-looking perspectives.
Download or read book The Quest of Sustainable Development in the ASEAN Investment Area written by Pakittah Nipawan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate goal of ASEAN integration is economic development of the region and ASEAN Member States. The ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA), one of the instruments realising the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, deals with the protection and liberalisation of the intra-ASEAN investment flows, and so far, has answered the core objectives of the 2015 ASEAN Economic Community, as single market and production base and highly competitive economic region. In creating a conducive investment environment, it assures that the investors will be granted privileges and protection in a substantial way, such as rights to compensated expropriation, to free transfers of funds, and even to arbitration. So ASEAN may expect numbers of mega investment projects. However, these investment flows will bring not only prosperity but also negative effects, because the ACIA does not set as condition for the investors to invest in a sustainable way. Here is a two-fold question regarding “a region of equitable economic development” objective. For the direct beneficiaries, given the economic diversity, can the ACIA be beneficial, in an inclusive way, by levelling the playing field for different groups of investors? For the indirect beneficiaries, or the society, shall the ASEAN investors take into account the issues of human, heritage, public health or environment? The contribution will look at the ACIA whether it contains any mechanisms addressing social and economic equity, labours or environment for the purpose of sustainable development, and will try to suggest how to integrate these sustainable development elements.

Download or read book Economic Integration in Asia written by Deeparghya Mukherjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) aims to achieve greater integration between the ASEAN region and its six free trade agreement (FTA) partners (India, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Korea). The RCEP is the only agreement to include three economies which are among the seven biggest economies of the world—China, Japan and India. The book opens with an introduction to the current status of economic integration and factors that would affect it and looks at key issues like non-tariff barriers, evolving investment regulations in China (in the context of FTAs), connectivity initiatives to integrate the region, rules of origin in the context of value chain integration in selected sectors as well as region-specific aspects of South Asia and South East Asia which would shape the regional economic architecture going forward. With an attempt to cover key imperatives, the book concludes by noting primary impediments to easier trade and investment flows in the region, highlighting possible policy recommendations to improve economic integration.
