Series: Routledge Research in International Economic Law

This book considers foreign investment flows in major Asian economies. It critically assesses the patterns and issues involved in the substantive law and policy environment which impact on investment flows, as well as the related dispute resolution law and practice. The book combines insights from international law and comparative study and is attentive to the socio-economic contexts and competing theories of the role of law in Asia. Contributions come from both academics with considerable practical expertise and legal practitioners with strong academic backgrounds. The chapters analyze the law and practice of investment treaties and FDI regimes in Asia looking specifically at developments in Japan, India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea and Vietnam. The book explores the impact of the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s and the Global Financial Crisis a decade later, examining actual trends and policy debates relating to FDI and capital flows in Asia before and after those upheavals.

Foreign Investment and Dispute Resolution: Law and Practice in Asia is a valuable resource for practitioners, academics and students of International and Comparative Law, Business and Finance Law, Business, Finance and Asian Studies.

Reviews for Foreign Investment and Dispute Resolution Law and Practice in Asia

"""The overriding strength of this book lies in its exploratory and problem-solving focus. The contributing editors and authors well appreciate the divergent attitudes and practices towards investment law and practice in Asia. They are all experts in their fields. This book is a valuable tool for academics, students and practitioners engaged in Asian international investment law and practice. It provides incisive guidance to potential investors in Asia, suggesting whether, when and how they might invest in particular Asian countries, what kinds of support or resistance they may encounter and how they might plan their cross-border investments in light of that support or resistance. Viewed holistically, they provide a remarkably articulate assessment of divergent socioeconomic, political and cultural reasons for that divergence among Asian countries, including their impact upon FDI and ISA in particular."" - LEON TRAKMAN, Professor of Law, University of New South Wales, Australia,"
