Model foreign investment law: With annotations

by Don Wallace Jr., David A. Levy, Robert B. Shanks

Model Foreign Investment Law with Annotations represents a pattern that law-makers may use in modernizing existing foreign investment laws or in establishing a market-oriented framework to attract foreign investment. It utilizes a contractual approach to the relations between the foreign investor and the host State, limiting the administrative steps that might hinder the willingness of foreign investors to invest in a system which they perceive as burdensome, while at the same time preserving the right of the host State to regulate foreign investment within its borders. Included in this + explanatory notes, definitions of terms, and references to additional readings. + articles, books, and international documents. + Sample Foreign Investment Application Form; Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL); Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States.
