Book Synopsis Nafta and Investment by : Seymour J. Rubin
Download or read book Nafta and Investment written by Seymour J. Rubin and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1995-10-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are investment aspects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which considerably enhance the opportunities for foreign investment among the signatories, while at the same time improving the security of such investment. NAFTA reflects the Parties' recognition that liberalization of host country investment restrictions is as important as the elimination of trade barriers. With the assistance of such high caliber contributors as Roberto Mayorga, Kent S. Foster, Preston Brown, and Dr. Jorge Witker, the book analyses both the advantages and disadvantages of this policy upon the investment climate within the countries of the various signatories. This book is the second volume in Kluwer's NAFTA Law and Policy Series, publishing high-quality studies on different aspects of NAFTA, including legal analysis and commentary on the Agreement. Among the numerous areas that are to be covered in the series are topics as diverse as agriculture, dispute settlement, environment, intellectual property rights, investment, and labour.

Book Synopsis NAFTA and the Energy Charter Treaty:Compliance With, Implementation and Effectiveness of International Investment Agreements by : Mirian Omalu
Download or read book NAFTA and the Energy Charter Treaty:Compliance With, Implementation and Effectiveness of International Investment Agreements written by Mirian Omalu and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) are the first major multilateral treaties to impose obligations on governments concerning the protection and treatment of foreign investments. These obligations are enforceable by private companies. NAFTA and the ECT examines the effectiveness of the investment rules of these treaties and analyses the mechanisms adopted to enhance compliance, and to facilitate the implementation and enforcement of the relevant rules and regulations. Coverage of this work includes: a conceptual analysis of the precise meaning and theoretical foundation of compliance, implementation, and effectiveness; an examination of issues of direct effect and direct international responsibility in terms of the practical question of the treaties' impact on the domestic regimes of states; an exploration of the issues of transparency and monitoring to achieve enhanced compliance; and a close look at a number of key links in the field andndash; between the investment rules and the workings of national legal and governmental systems, between national and international law, between different disciplines involved (international law, international relations, international politics, and economics), and between transparency and compliance monitoring. NAFTA and the ECT also offers several helpful features, including results from a questionnaire-based survey circulated to the main players in the realm of foreign investment which offer unique insights on the prevalent perception of the industry towards NAFTA and the ECT; and original suggested provisions and frameworks which would enhance the effectiveness of the investment rules. The thought-provoking issues probed and conclusions reached and the interdisciplinary and comparative approach taken make NAFTA and the ECT a compelling new resource for academics, policymakers, and others interested in the effectiveness of international investment agreements and the tools employed in their implementation and enforcement.

Download or read book Lessons from NAFTA written by Luis Serven and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004-11-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the experience of Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), 'Lessons from NAFTA' aims to provide guidance to Latin American and Caribbean countries considering free trade agreements with the United States. The authors conclude that the treaty raised external trade and foreign investment inflows and had a modest effect on Mexico's average income per person. It is likely that the treaty also helped achieve a modest reduction in poverty and an improvement in job quality. This book will be of interest to scholars and policymakers interested in international trade and development.

Book Synopsis Foreign Investor Protection Under NAFTA Chapter 11 by :
Download or read book Foreign Investor Protection Under NAFTA Chapter 11 written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) affords various protections to investors of one signatory nation having investments in the territory of another. Such foreign-investor protections exist in the large majority of modern bilateral investment treaties, but NAFTA is different. NAFTA is apparently the only instance where such protections, including a mechanism for resolving investor-state disputes by binding arbitration, have been made available for use against the United States by countries (Mexico and Canada) that invest heavily in the U.S. NAFTA, that is, has created not only the legal possibility of investor claims against the United States, but the actual occurrence of them as well. The "actual occurrence" of several multi-million-dollar arbitration claims against the U.S. under Chapter 11 has sparked a lively debate as to the precise content of the substantive obligations it imposes on the NAFTA parties ? and as to whether the claims of foreign investors might chill enforcement of legitimate government regulation in the public interest. While the U.S. has won each of the three finally decided arbitrations to date, one could argue that the hour is still early. In response to such concerns, the Bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority Act of 2002 instructs U.S. negotiators of future trade agreements to ensure that foreign investors in this country receive "no greater substantive rights" than U.S. investors under U.S. law. The Act does not apply to NAFTA. Part I of the report summarizes the arbitration procedure used when an investor from one NAFTA party believes that another NAFTA party (or one of its political subdivisions) has breached an obligation under Chapter 11, and the investor suffered loss as a result. Part II examines one of the two most-debated Chapter 11 obligations imposed on the parties: the "fair and equitable treatment" of foreign investors. An important clarification of this phrase came in 2001, when the Free Trade Commission established under NAFTA declared that fair and equitable treatment creates no freestanding standard, but refers only to existing customary international law establishing minimum standards of treatment for aliens. However, customary international law offers few clear principles. Part III treats the other widely debated Chapter 11 provision, on indirect expropriation. A claim of indirect expropriation is made when an investor believes that his/her investment in another NAFTA country has been so severely regulated as to have been effectively expropriated. Such claims have long been recognized in international law; the importance of NAFTA is that it has given rise to a significant number of them, including, for the first time, several against the United States. As with fair and equitable treatment, the meaning of indirect expropriation is uncertain, owing to scarce precedent, though it is clear the impact must be substantial. Finally, Part IV describes the roughly 20 claims filed so far under NAFTA Chapter 11, including the six against the U.S.
Download or read book Expanding NAFTA written by Carmen Zechner and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2002 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world economy has witnessed a sudden increase in free trade agreements, generating a renewed debate on their economic impact. In Expanding NAFTA Carmen Zechner focuses on the economic effects on Chile of the potential free trade agreement with the United States. The author creates a framework for analyzing the impact of economic integration between a developed and a developing country from the developing country's perspective. This book goes beyond earlier analyses of the static gains from free trade to examine the dynamic and more intangible effects that are critical to the welfare evaluation of trade agreements. Expanding NAFTA is an important contribution to the research on preferential trade liberalization and to understanding developing countries' trade policy choices. This book will be indispensable to anyone interested in trade policy making and the Chilean economy.

Book Synopsis The First Decade of NAFTA: The Future of Free Trade in North America by : Kevin Kennedy
Download or read book The First Decade of NAFTA: The Future of Free Trade in North America written by Kevin Kennedy and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides practitioners, academics and students with the first definitive coverage of NAFTA investment arbitration. Given the level of foreign direct investment within the NAFTA countries, the issue of redress for states in investment cases is a major one. The state dispute settlement mechanisms within NAFTAs Chapter Eleven are recognized as a model worthy of close examination. The experts and scholars who have contributed to this work present a comprehensive overview of the first ten years of practice in the area of investment disputes under the NAFTA provision. As in any nascent undertaking, the successes, failures and controversies that have been the experience of the state parties involved in NAFTA, are keenly reflected in the Chapter 11 cases. It is in these experiences, as described by in the chapters of this timely volume, that the readers will find substantive and procedural insights into an emerging new area of public international economic law. Many see the workings of the NAFTA agreement, particularly Chapter 11, as a Rorschach test for how state parties can approach and effectively adjudicate investment disputes. For this reason all practitioners and scholars concerned with international trade and foreign direct investment issues should consult this book. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
Book Synopsis NAFTA and Foreign Investment in Mexico by : Alison Marie Boelter

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study examines NAFTA's role in attracting and maintaining foreign investment in Monterrey. In light of the difficulty in separating the effects of NAFTA from other influences, many argue that influxes in foreign investment are not a direct result of the free trade agreement, but rather, a combination of factors such as globalization and economic reforms designed to aid Mexico recover from its national debt crises. A case study approach of five U.S.-based companies in Monterrey was employed to determine if NAFTA was the main, or one of the main reasons, for expansion to Mexico. Additional key informants within governmental organizations were utilized to assess the investment environment in Monterrey and the likelihood that NAFTA was a strong influence. Economic data were collected to compare total levels of investment in Mexico both before and after the implementation of NAFTA, as well as levels of U.S.-based investment. The study revealed that NAFTA has, in fact, been successful at drawing foreign investment to Monterrey, both directly and indirectly. Although Chapter 11 was not cited by interviewees, my research findings demonstrate that it underpinned the willingness of investors to come to Mexico because its trade protections made investment secure and profitable.
