Folkeret: økonomi og handel: investeringsaftaler og tvister

Gelare Matin untersucht das neugefasste Modellgesetze über Mediation im Vergleich einerseits zu dem vorausgehenden Modellgesetz von 2002, andererseits zu der Singapore Convention. Weitere vergleichende Bezüge werden zum UNCITRAL-Modellgesetz über die Internationale Handelsschiedsgerichtsbarkeit von 1985/2006 sowie zum New Yorker Übereinkommmen über die Anerkennung und Vollstreckung ausländischer Schiedssprüche von 1958 gezogen.

Zunehmend komplexe Vertragsstrukturen führen dazu, dass mehrere Verträge umfassende Streitigkeiten auch auf Ebene der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit an Relevanz gewinnen. Die Durchführung schiedsgerichtlicher Mehrvertragsverfahren bringt indes Herausforderungen mit sich, welche nicht zuletzt in der privatautonomen Natur der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit wurzeln. Die Autorin greift dieses praxisrelevante Thema auf und bewertet die Chancen und Risiken derartiger Verfahren. Dies geschieht durch wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit den spezifischen Herausforderungen schiedsgerichtlicher Mehrvertragsverfahren (auch unter Beteiligung Mehrerer), der Erörterung erforderlicher Verfahrensanpassungen sowie vergleichender Analyse der nationalen sowie institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen und Bestimmungen hierzu.

"This book explores the tension between capital controls and international economic law. The book will establish whether the IMF has the authority to regulate the use of capital controls and analyse whether a country's use of capital controls is consistent with obligations undertaken in various trade and investment agreements"--

"Much of the existing accounts assume that investment treaties affect national governance. However, how exactly this happens has been subject to little analysis. Conventional accounts presume that these treaties improve national governance, leading to good governance and the rule of law for all. Critical accounts charge that investment treaties unduly empower foreign investors and cause a regulatory chill. On both accounts, investment treaties are expected to empower and constrain. Comparing extended case studies of Argentina, the Czech Republic, India and Mexico, this book shows how investment treaties influence national governance ideologically, institutionally, and socially"--

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,6, http://www.uni-jena.de/, language: English, abstract: In the era of Globalisation international investment flows are large. Even small and medium sized companies are active in foreign countries and economies are increasingly interdependent. Despite this globalisation process there is no unified legal framework concerning international investments and the disputes which may arise from them.In this perspective global governance is lacking behind globalisation. International investment is one of the key drivers of economic development. Investors demand legal security, also in countries where domestic governance is weak in order to minimise the non-commercial risks. International Investment Agreements (IIA) between two or more countries serve as primary legal basis to govern and protect international investments and to settle disputes between investors and states. The framework of thousands of IIAs and within it the system of Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is fragmented and increasingly subject to harsh critique of providing inconsistent arbitration awards and lacking legitimacy in general.This paper addresses the development of ISDS provisions in investment agreements and how the current system could be reformed.Chapter two provides a historical overview of investment treaty practice, the roots of the current system and the development of private courts of arbitration. Main ISDS institutions and their rules will be introduced.The following section will point out the arguments in favour and opposing ISDS. Critique will be made visible on examples of prominent cases as well as on overall findings from treaty analysis.The final chapter deals with possibilities to reform, amend or even replace today¿s ISDS regime. It will address recent megaregional agreements such like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and their possible roles in shaping future rules which will govern international investment flows.

"Impact investering" er et af de mest anvendte buzzwords inden for finansiering i dag og omtales som investering med det formål at skabe positive og målbare sociale og miljømæssige ændringer ud over monetære afkast. At placere penge i projekter, virksomheder og steder, der forbedrer livet for de mennesker, der bor der - ud over at styrke din investeringsportefølje, lyder godt... men der er også mange faldgruber. Et af de mest inspirerende steder for impact-investering, men også et af de mest misforståede af internationale investorer, er Afrika syd for Sahara. I Digital Africa forklarer Jesper Drescher, en succesrig investor i den afrikanske teknologiscene siden 2013 og formand for tre afrikanske teknologivirksomheder, potentialet og farerne ved at investere i Afrika syd for Sahara. Han går i dybden med, hvad en potentiel investor har brug for at forstå om Afrika syd for Sahara, før man beslutter at drive forretning der. Hvor fordele og ulemper ligger; de særlige problemer omkring oprettelse af virksomheder, beskatning og ansættelse. Mest af alt beskriver Drescher, hvordan digitalisering er nøglen til at skabe den størst mulige effekt med din tid og dine penge - som privat person eller professionel investor. Uanset om det tager form af mobile-money for mennesker uden adgang til formel bankvirksomhed, den øgede mulighed for regeringer til at opkræve skat eller forbedre sundhedsresultaterne på baggrund af statistiske data, er digitalisering en kæmpe gevinst i Afrika syd for Sahara. Bogen er en inspirerende guide til dig som privat eller professionel investor, men samtidig en levende og eksemplificerende beskrivelse for dig, som blot er interesseret i det afrikanske kontinent.
