It challenges the conventional view that foreign direct investment is a 'miracle drug' for developing countries and exposes serious shortcomings in the current international investment regime. Composed of norms, agreements, treaties and regulations, the emerging investment regime expands the rights of transnational corporations (TNCs) without commensurate rewards for the common good. Drawing on both research and engaged advocacy, the contributors ultimately map out a new way forward, towards the creation and implementation of international investment rules that will promote global sustainability and equity.Investments, ForeignGovernment policyDeveloping countriesSustainable developmentGovernment policyDeveloping countriesInvestments, ForeignGovernment policySustainable developmentGovernment policy338.9/27/091724Zarsky Lyuba1601724OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910810526803321International investment for sustainable development4068173UNINA
