Sovereign Concerns and the International Investment Regime
Files
Description
This chapter examines how sovereign investment relates to the international legal regime—consisting of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and investment chapters of free trade agreements (FTAs)—governing foreign direct investment (FDI). It first considers sovereign concerns with FDI before discussing the challenges to national governance prompted by sovereign investment within the context of the international investment regime. It then analyzes legitimate sovereign concerns with the international investment regime in relation to BITs and FTAs, along with the national or essential security issues raised by sovereign investment.
