ABSTRACT

In Part One of the book (particularly Chapter Three), we have discussed the scope of the current regulatory framework on FDI, both nationally and internationally. We have identified the gaps where the current framework does not adequately address issues related to the regulation of FDI. A case has also been made on the need for a global agreement on FDI. Part two of the book, comprising four Chapters, examines the strategies and positions of the key global players on a global investment regime. These key players are OECD countries, developing countries, public interest groups (such as consumer advocates, environmentalists, labour unions and business associations) and inter-governmental organisations.
