Download or read book OECD s Multilateral Agreement on Investment A Chinese Perspective written by Huiping Chen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multilateral Agreement on Investment: A Chinese Perspective makes detailed analyses and comments on the MAI from the perspective of a Chinese scholar. The author believes that the behind closed doors process of MAI negotiations is unacceptable for developing countries, NGOs, and civil societies, and is inadvisable for any future negotiations on investment rules. The substantive contents of the MAI which include the definition of investor and investment, treatment of foreign investors and investments, treatment for investment protection, and the dispute settlement mechanism are of high standards that render them unreachable and unacceptable for developing countries. The nine chapters of the book include: An introduction; An analysis of the background of the MAI negotiations which briefly reviews the process and results of the negotiations and makes the author's comments on the negotiations; An analysis and evaluation of the main features of MAI provisions and the approaches adopted by the MAI; An exploration of the scope of application of the MAI through the analysis of the respective definition of investor and investment in the MAI, and points out that the purpose of broad definition is to broaden the MAI's scope of application; An analysis and comment on the MAI's general principles of treatment accorded to foreign investors and their investments, and points out that the MAI's provisions in this regard have negative impacts on developing countries; An introduction to the MAI's specific rules of treatment accorded to foreign investors and their investments in such new areas of international investment as performance requirements, investment incentives, key personnel, privatization, as well as monopoly, state enterprises and concessions; An analysis and commentary on the MAI's treatment provisions on investment protection, i.e. the fair and equitable treatment and full and constant protection and security treatment as the general treatment, and the specific treatment with regard to expropriation and compensation, protection from strife and transfers; An introduction to and evaluation of the MAI's dispute settlement mechanism: the state-state procedure and the investor-state procedure,and; A conclusion.

Download or read book International Investment Treaties and Arbitration Across Asia written by Julien Chaisse and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 725 pages. 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.

The World Summit for Social Development in 1995 laid out an ambitious agenda to create an economic, political, social, cultural and legal environment for social development. This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the progress to date, exploring efforts to reassert the value of equity and social cohesion in an increasingly individualistic world. It reveals the failings of unregulated markets and the importance of a well-run public sector, as well as a healthy and educated population.

Download or read book Multilateral Agreements on Investment Learning from the Mai written by Andreas Polk and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, I will first give an overview of the current regulation of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the WTO and OECD. Then I will criticise the draft of the multilateral agreement on investment (MAI), that was proposed as a new framework for FDI. Though the MAI has failed, the original draft is likely to serve as a basis for future negotiations. I conclude that a general agreement on investment should include rules on competition policy, exceptions for least developed countries and a differentiated investment decision. The WTO seems to be the best forum for such an agreement. Die Verhandlungen innerhalb der OECD zu einem multilateralen Abkommen uber Investitionen (MAI) sind gescheitert. Damit werden Direktinvestitionen gegenwartig weiterhin durch bilaterale Vertrage und durch einige wenige multilaterale Abkommen geregelt. In Zukunft ist jedoch weiterhin damit zu rechnen, dab diese durch ein allgemeines Rahmenwerk nach Vorlage des MAI ersetzt werden. Der vorliegende Aufsatz erlautert zunachst die bestehenden multilateralen Rahmenbedingungen der WTO und der OECD. Anschliebend werden die wesentlichen Inhalte des Vertragsentwurfs zum MAI vorgestellt und aus okonomischer Sicht diskutiert. Ich komme zu der Einschatzung, dab in einem zukunftigen Investitionsabkommen (i) wettbewerbspolitische Inhalte, (ii) Ausnahmeregeln in bezug auf wenig industrialisierte Lander und (iii) ein differenzierter Investitionsbegriff enthalten sein sollten. Als Forum fur ein multilaterales Investitionsabkommen bietet sich die WTO an.
