Foreign Investments and Public Policy

Module code: SOLM190

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Angelos Dimopoulos

This module examines the different public policy interests that guide regulation of international investments. It explores theories on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), how the law deals with FDI and in particular what is the role and objectives of international investment law. Moreover, this module examines how different legal instruments balance investment promotion and protection objectives with other regulatory interests, such as human rights and environmental protection. The aim is to enable students to critically reflect on the objectives of investment regulation and whether existing rules offer an appropriate balance of (conflicting) public policy interests.
