Model Foreign Investment Law with Annotations
Don Wallace, Jr. and
Robert Shanks, The Model Foreign Investment Law with Annotations represents a pattern that lawmakers 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 that they perceive as burdensome, while at the same time preserving the right of the host state to regulate foreign investment within its borders. The annotations include explanatory notes, definitions of terms, and references to additional readings. The bibliography lists articles, books, and international documents. The appendices provide a 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. |
