Full Description
This third volume in the Springer Studies in Law and Geoeconomics series continues to advance the interdisciplinary field of investment control. With a primary focus on geoeconomic strategies, this book examines the evolving legal and regulatory frameworks that govern foreign direct investment (FDI). The volume addresses critical issues such as investment screening, foreign subsidies, and the balance between national security and economic interests. By exploring these themes through an international, transnational, and comparative law perspective, the book offers valuable insights into the mechanisms and implications of investment controls in a globalized economy. Contributors provide a detailed analysis of current practices and propose innovative approaches to the challenges posed by FDI in contemporary geopolitical contexts. This book is an essential resource for policymakers, legal scholars, and practitioners involved in the regulation of international investments.
