Put together by Beveridge (U. of Liverpool, UK), this reader of 20 papers, previously published in international law journals and other scholarly publications between 1989 and 2004, surveys major issues of the international law of foreign investment. After a section addressing foundational issues, the focus turns to dispute settlement, and then to the question of regulation of multinational enterprises (MNEs), and the emergence of norms regarding the treatment of foreign investment in the World Trade Organization. Contributions then turn to more abstract looks at regulatory takings and the issues of economic, social, and cultural rights in NAFTA Chapter XI cases. The volume concludes with regional perspectives on law and foreign investment, including chapters on institutional and legal challenges of investment promotion in Africa, investor-state dispute resolution in the Americas, harmonization and international arbitration in the MERCOSUR (Southern Cone Common Market) countries, and textual analysis of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Framework Agreements on Services and the Global Agreement on Trade and Services.
