Titre : Admission and Establishment : Unctad Series on issues in international investment agreements Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 1999 Collection : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Importance : 60 p. Note générale : 03.02 UNC Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Accords commerciaux Tags : Commerce international Développement économique Economie mondiale Coopération internationale Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : This paper analyses the legal and policy options surrounding the admission and establishment of foreign direct investment (FDI) by transnational corporations (TNCs) into host countries. This topic raises questions that are central to international investment agreements in general. In particular, the degree of control or openness that a host country might adopt in relation to the admission of FDI is a central issue. The purpose of this paper is to describe and
assess the kinds of policy options that have emerged from the process of FDI growth and host country responses thereto in national
laws and, more importantly, in bilateral, regional, plurilateral and multilateral investment agreements.

Titre : Expanding developing countries' exports in a global economy : The Need to Emulate the Strategies used by Transnational Corporations for International Business Development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rubens Lopes Braga, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 1998 Collection : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development num. 133 Importance : 27 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Développement économique Tags : Développement humain Indicateurs Pays en développement Finances Nations Unies Résumé : Considerable effort has been made to highlight the socio-economic benefits for countries engaging in trade. These benefits have been described by many complementary, and sometimes conflicting, theories. This reflects the existence of different approaches and disagreement of economists on certain economic concepts which, in turn, largely explains why a comprehensive theory of international trade is still lacking. Trade policy makers widely consider export promotion and development activities to be valuable tools for expanding exports. When deciding which activities should be implemented to support export-oriented enterprises in developing countries to expand their exports, trade policy makers assume the validity and major relevance of some of these economic concepts.

Titre : Fair and Equitable Treatment : Unctad Series on issues in international investment agreements Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 1999 Collection : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Importance : 60 p. Note générale : 03.02 UNC Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Commerce Tags : Commerce international Développement économique Economie mondiale Coopération internationale Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : In recent years, the concept of fair and equitable treatment has assumed prominence in investment relations between States. While the earliest proposals that made reference to this standard of treatment for investment are contained in various multilateral efforts in the period immediately following World War II, the
bulk of the State practice incorporating the standard is to be found in bilateral investment treaties (BITs) which have become a central feature in international investment relations. In essence, the fair and equitable standard provides a yardstick by which relations between foreign direct investors
and Governments of capital-importing countries may be assessed. It also acts as a signal from capital-importing countries, for it indicates, at the very least, a State’s willingness to accommodate foreign capital on terms that take into account the interests of the investor in fairness and equity

Titre : Foreign Direct Investment and Development : Unctad Series on issues in international investment agreements Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 1999 Collection : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Importance : 72 p. Note générale : 03.02 UNC Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Économie internationale Tags : Commerce international Développement économique Economie mondiale Coopération internationale Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : This paper considers the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in development. It is meant to give an overview in respect of this topic. At the same time, it provides the broader economic underpinnings for the specific issues relating to international discussions or negotiations on investment which are addressed in other papers of the series. The paper starts with a discussion of the effects of FDI on development through trade, one third of which takes place within
corporate production systems. The reason for starting with the trade effects of FDI are twofold. Primo , trade has traditionally been the principal mechanism linking national economies. FDI does have a similar linking function and, therefore, it is interesting to ascertain whether, and to what extent, the two linking functions reinforce each other.En ligne : http://www.unctad.org/en/docs/tdr2011_en.pdf Foreign Direct Investment and Development : Unctad Series on issues in international investment agreements [texte imprimé] / UNCTAD, Auteur . - [S.l.] : United Nations, 1999 . - 72 p.. - (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) .

Titre : Investment-Related Trade Measures : Unctad Series on issues in international investment agreements Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 1998 Collection : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Importance : 54 p. Note générale : 03.02 UNC Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Commerce Tags : Commerce international Développement économique Economie mondiale Coopération internationale Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : Investment-related trade measures (IRTMs) are a diverse array of trade policy instruments that influence the volume, sectoral composition and geographic distribution of foreign direct investment (FDI). Some trade measures classified as IRTMs (such as tariffs, quotas, and export financing programmes) are not principally designed to influence FDI flows but nevertheless can have major consequences on the decisions of international investors. Other devices (such
as export processing zones, and co-production or buy-back trade arrangements) are designed with FDI effects more clearly in mind. In either case, whether the FDI consequence is intended or not, the resultant impact on production location decisions and intracompany trade flows exerts an influence on world commerce. IRTMs help, therefore, to shape how international business activities affect both global welfare and the relative distribution of benefits among national economies through their impact on FDI flows. IRTMs are thus relevant to international investment agreements, including discussions about a possible multilateral framework on investment.
