About the product

Latin American countries rank among those that have displayed the greatest amount of rule-making activism towards foreign direct investment in recent decades. This paper depicts the changing international landscape of investment rule-making from a Latin American perspective. It does so by looking first at the recent evolution of investment rules at the bilateral, regional and multilateral levels, pointing out differences and synergies between these closely intertwined processes and the role that Latin American countries have had in shaping them.
