Weaponising Investments
This highly topical volume presents pioneering research for the purpose of developing a common analytical foundation and framework for the emerging interdisciplinary research field of investment control. Long considered as exceptional measures, restrictions on inward foreign direct investments (FDI) have become ever more common and accepted. This book presents different perspectives on how decision-makers go about the tasks of assessing risks and threats to national security that may be posed by FDI and then balancing those risks and threats against economic interests of parties concerned and society at large.
YSEC Yearbook of Socio-Economic Constitutions 2020
This book presents the very first, interdisciplinarily grounded, comprehensive appraisal of a future “Common European Law on Investment Screening”. Thereby, it provides a foundation for a European administrative law framework for investment screening by setting out viable solutions and evaluating their pros and cons. Daimler, the harbour terminal in Zeebrugge, or Saxo Bank are only three recent examples of controversially discussed company takeovers in Europe. The “elephant in the room” is China and its “Belt and Road Initiative”. The political will in Europe is growing to more actively control investments flowing into the EU. The current regulatory initiatives raise several fund...
Chinese Investments and the Economic Security Turn in Europe
Focusing on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) screening, this book provides an in-depth analysis of how European states’ economic interactions with China have become a security issue. Based on 100 interviews with scholars, journalists, policy makers, and politicians from across Europe, the book underscores the importance of the policy making process that led to the adoption of investment screening in European nations. It adopts the theory of securitization to analyse the passage of the status of Chinese FDI from economy to security. In doing so, it shows how the shifting view of Europeans is attributed to changes such as China’s growing economic presence, the persistence of non-market practices, the loss of competitiveness, and the use of economic statecraft.
National Security in International and Domestic Investment Law
This book offers a dynamic introduction to the new developments on national security review of foreign direct investment (FDI) from the perspectives of both domestic law and international investment law. COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have intensified FDI screening to an unprecedented scale, yet its purposes, scope and potential impact remain ambiguous and controversial. The book first attests the legitimacy of FDI screening by using the theory of National Security Constitution. Part I explicates the national security, public order and public health exceptions clauses in international investment law and the novel EU Regulation on FDI screening. Part II provides an in-depth anal...
International Investment Law and the Pandemic
This book discusses how the Covid pandemic has reshaped investment screening mechanisms, investment law and arbitration. Contributions from leading academics and practitioners offer a fresh perspective on the reform of the ISDS mechanism and investment treaties; security and public order risks in FDI screening; the application of treaty standards and customary law defences; and the critical role of scientific data in investment arbitration. With rare insights and unpublished data, this book is your essential guide to understanding the resilience of the investment regime in these challenging times.
Der Schutz von Minderheitsrechten beim Aktionärsausschluss in den USA
Der Aktionarsausschluss ist paradigmatisch fur das mogliche Ausmass des Konflikts zwischen Mehrheits- und Minderheitsgesellschaftern. Der Umgang einer Rechtsordnung mit diesem Extremfall erlaubt Ruckschlusse auf die jeweilige Verfassung des Minderheitsschutzes. Dass der Ausschluss situationsbedingt zulassig ist, wird auch in Deutschland nicht mehr bezweifelt. Uber die Frage der Zulassigkeit hinaus wird in den USA seit geraumer Zeit intensiv diskutiert, wie die Interessen von Minderheit und Mehrheit zu einem gerechten Ausgleich gebracht werden konnen. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert Jakob Tybus den Schutz von Minderheitsaktionaren in den USA, indem er die Entwicklung des Schutzniveaus unter Einbeziehung des Verfassungsrechts nachzeichnet und den Status quo unter Bezugnahme auf okonomische und eigentumsrechtliche Erwagungen darstellt. Anschliessend untersucht er den Aktionarsausschluss als Anwendungsbeispiel und zieht ein Resumee zur Verfassung des Minderheitsschutzes in den USA.
Solidarity and the Politics of Anti-Politics
Based on extensive use of primary sources, this book provides an analysis of Solidarity, from its ideological origins in the Polish "new left," through the dramatic revolutionary months of 1980-81, and up to the union?s remarkable resurgence in 1988-89, when it sat down with the government to negotiate Poland?s future. David Ost focuses on what Solidarity is trying to accomplish and why it is likely that the movement will succeed. He traces the conflict between the ruling Communist Party and the opposition, Solidarity?s response to it, and the resulting reforms. Noting that Poland is the one country in the world where "radicals of ?68" came to be in a position to negotiate with a government ...
