{"product_id":"9789814401630","title":"Regulation Of Foreign Investment: Challenges To International Harmonization: Challenges to International Harmonization","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction \u003ci\u003e(Zdenek Drabek and Petros C Mavroidis)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulation of Investment in the Trade Régime: From ITO to WTO \u003ci\u003e(Petros C Mavroidis)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestic, Regional and Multilateral Investment Liberalization \u003ci\u003e(Jorge A Huerta Goldman)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMode 3 of the GATS: A Model for Disciplining Measures Affecting Investment Flows? \u003ci\u003e(Bart De Meester and Dominic Coppens)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabor Standards and Human Rights: Implications for International Trade and Investment \u003ci\u003e(Drusilla K Brown, Alan V Deardorff and Robert M Stern)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractions Between Subsidies Regulation and Foreign Investment, and the Primacy of the International Trade Regime \u003ci\u003e(Tomer Broude)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmental Protection \u003ci\u003e(Daniel M Firger and Michael B Gerrard)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology Transfer: Regulatory Issues and International Investment Agreements \u003ci\u003e(Keith E Maskus)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSovereign Wealth Funds and Political Risk: New Challenges in the Regulation of Foreign Investment \u003ci\u003e(Victoria Barbary and Bernardo Bortolotti)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational Tribunals as Agents of Harmonization \u003ci\u003e(Moshe Hirsch)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeign Acquisitions and National Security: What are Genuine Threats?
