Download or read book Legal Aspects of Foreign Investments in Developing Countries written by Sinisa Petrovic and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world as globalized as it is nowadays, it is almost impossible to imagine an economy without foreign investments. A country's attitude towards foreign investment greatly differ; some have a more open-minded legislation and it really makes no difference whether an investment is domestic or from another country, while some countries tend to be more cautious and still perceive foreign investments as uncommon and treat them as an exception. Be it as it may for any reason, one basically cannot argue that foreign investments are an important economic factor. The content of this book is the result of the authors' professional experience from various capacities in which they dealt with foreign investments. The book is not intended to present an absolutely comprehensive research of all legal aspects of foreign investments; rather, it gives a general review of, in the authors' view, most important issues which either an investor or a host country may encounter. The purpose was to give a sort of checklist of these issues and to refer to legal sources, which help to find more detailed and profound answers to various problems that derive from foreign investments.The intent of the authors was that the book can be used as a kind of textbook for introductory classes at law faculties, but also as a guide to legal practitioners and businesses. Even though most of the issues are notably important for investments in developing countries, we dare to say that many of them may be equally essential for any investment in any country, irrespective of its level of economic and legal development.

This book was released on 1993-10-27 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporation law dates from the 19th century when the growth of business enterprise required a division between the private & the company sphere, making the company a legal person with its own rights, responsibilities & liabilities. The company was no longer the legal equivalent of its owner but became a separate legal entity, providing a form of legal protection for the owners, employees & the customers. The introduction of company law meant a great step forward for those engaged in big business in Europe, the U.S. & elsewhere.

Book excerpt: The main aim of this book is to assess the importance of international rules for foreign direct investment and the major challenges to international harmonization of those rules. Particular attention is paid to the most controversial and contentious issues with the view of appraising the prospects for establishing global rules. The book is divided into three parts; the first part includes papers assessing the role of national and international legislation with further distinction being made between bilateral, regional and multilateral legal frameworks. The second part addresses regulatory issues of technology transfer, labor, environment, subsidies and investment incentives, national security, public services and sovereign wealth funds. The final part looks at the experience of some international fora in addressing these issues and at some theoretical and conceptual problems of rule harmonization. The papers have been written by legal and economic scholars from leading universities.
Download or read book The International Law on Foreign Investment written by M. Sornarajah and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given recent seismic upheavals in the world's money markets, an updated edition of an authoritative, reliable textbook on the international law of foreign investment has rarely been so timely. Sornarajah's classic text surveys how international law has developed to protect foreign investments by multinational actors and to control any misconduct on their part. It analyses treaty-based methods, examining the effectiveness of bilateral and regional investment treaties. It also considers the reverse flow of investments from emerging industrialising powers such as China and Brazil and explores the retreat from market oriented economics to regulatory controls. By offering thought-provoking analysis of not only the law, but related developments in economics and political sciences, Sornarajah gives immediacy and relevance to the discipline. This book is required reading for all postgraduate and undergraduate international law students specialising in the law of foreign investments.

Download or read book Foreign Investment Human Rights and the Environment written by Shyami Fernando Puvimanasinghe and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Events like the Bhopal disaster, the sale of products harmful to human health and safety, and child labour, especially in resource-scarce settings, raise fundamental issues of human dignity and ecological integrity. From a legal perspective, and in the context of Foreign Direct Investment by Transnational Corporations in developing countries, they highlight the lacuna of a holistic international legal framework and its implementation. This book embodies a critique of the complex web of public international law principles on economics, human rights and the environment, and their convergence or lack thereof, related regional (South Asian) and domestic (Sri Lankan) legal arrangements, interventions of states and non-state actors towards just, equitable and sustainable development. It is a quest for a middle path in the multidisciplinary landscape of international law, development and North-South power dynamics; globalization of free trade and investment and of social and environmental interests; and salient aspects of the philosophical, socio-economic and legal fabric of South Asia, viewed against the evolving, controversial and elastic sphere of international relations and law where consensus has hitherto been an elusive dream.
Download or read book Economic Development Foreign Investment and the Law Promoting Economic Development Through Private Sector Involvement Foreign Investment and the Rule of Law written by Robert Pritchard and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-03-07 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full Title: Economic Development, Foreign Investment and the Law Promoting Economic Development through Private Sector Involvement, Foreign Investment and the Rule of Law This new publication was inspired by the desire to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the Section on Business Law of the International Bar Association. Practising lawyers from all over the world have contributed to this book with their knowledge and expertise. The issues involved in the economic development process have been pursued with a practical approach. Bearing in mind that the legal system of each country is unique, that many countries are currently undergoing major programmes of legal reform, and that most development issues are country-specific, this study does not make any claim to comprehensiveness or coherency of treatment. If the book helps to accelerate reform efforts, it will have achieved a useful purpose. It is hoped that it will serve as a source of practical information for a wide range of people interested in the legal aspects of development and investment issues, including the special issues associated with the use of foreign capital.
Download or read book Foreign Investment International Law and Common Concerns written by Tullio Treves and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, transnational corporations, developed countries and private actors are broadening the boundaries of their investments into new territories, in search of a higher return on capital. This growth in direct foreign investment involves serious concerns for both the investor and host state. Various exponents of international civil society and non-governmental organisations persuasively claim that such growth in foreign investments constitutes potential and serious hazards both to the environment and the fundamental rights and freedoms of local populations. This book explores from an international law perspective the complex relationship between foreign investments and common concerns, i.e. values that do not coincide, or do not necessarily coincide, with the interests of the investor and of the host state. It pays particular attention to the role of the main international development banks in reconciling the needs of foreign investors with the protection of common concerns, such as the environment, human rights and labour rights. Among its collection of essays, the volume asks how much "regulatory space" investment law leaves; whether international investment law is an effective means of balancing contrasting interests, and whether investment arbitration currently constitutes a mechanism of global governance. In collecting the outlooks of various experts in human rights, environmental and international economic law, this book breaks new ground in exploring how attention to its legal aspects may help in navigating the relationship between foreign investment and common concerns. In doing so, the book provides valuable insights into the substantive issues and institutional aspects of international investment law.
Download or read book International Investment Law written by Surya P Subedi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...This book [...] goes beyond stating what the law is and focuses on controversies occurring within this area of the law... an excellent introduction to this complex area of international law for newcomers to the subject' Kate Miles, Australian International Law Journal The updated edition of this acclaimed book offers a critical overview of the law of foreign investment, incorporating a thorough analysis of the principles and standards of treatment available to foreign investors in international law. It is authoritative and multi-layered, offering an analysis of the key issues and an insightful assessment of recent trends in the case law, from both developed and developing country perspectives. A major feature of the book is that it deals with the tension between the law of foreign investment and other competing principles of international law. In doing so, it proposes ways of achieving a balance between these principles and the need to protect the legitimate rights and expectations of foreign investors on the one hand, and the need not to restrict unduly the right of host governments to implement their public policy on the other, including the protection of the environment and human rights, and the promotion of social and economic justice within the host country. Many of the pioneering ideas that were advanced in the first edition of this book in 2008 have been taken up by governments and international organisations in their attempts to reform the investor-State dispute settlement mechanism and strike a balance between different competing principles in developing international investment law. Accordingly, this fourth edition captures the essence of the ongoing multiple reform processes -either planned or envisaged – currently underway.
Download or read book The treatment and taxation of foreign investment under international law written by Fiona Beveridge and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available as an ebook for the first time, this 2000 title in the Melland Schill Studies in International Law series is an examination of key issues concerning the treatment of foreign investment and the taxation of investors. It looks at some of the challenges which globalization has thrown up for the international community from a legal perspective and sets developments alongside more traditional approaches. Particular attention is paid to the needs and aspirations of developing countries and the implications for them of free trade orthodoxy. After outlining the established framework of laws concerning investment protection and taxation, the author looks at experiences in the European Union and the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement and at a range of disputes and legal developments to assess whether international legal regimes are responding adequately to meet the needs of states and investors alike. OECD initiatives on taxation and the aborted Multilateral Agreement on Investment negotiations are examined in conjunction with the relevant provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreements.
