ABSTRACT

Multiple methods have been used in the research that will be explained below (Blaxter, et al, 1996: 77). The whole research process could be divided into two: data collection and analysis. The main sources of data in the research were review of literature, interviews with people, observation - largely in cyberspace and legal policy analysis. These were all oriented to securing a balanced, triangulated understanding of the progress of the MAI negotiations and the perspectives of the key players and the lessons this has for a redesign of FDI regulation.
