Description
The main purpose of this study is the legal treatment of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Republic of Kosovo and in the countries of the region, as well as the role of International Investment Arbitration, with a specific reference to an analysis of the positive effects FDI and the problems faced by foreign investors. Global trends show that competition for FDI inflows is particularly strong among developing countries, as it represents an important source of foreign capital and with a positive impact on the host economy. FDI can facilitate rapid economic growth in developing countries by increasing investment and by transferring experience, technology and know-how from developed countries. The need for investors to feel confident in their investments has prompted national governments to take steps to their more investor-friendly laws and regulations. Many of them have adopted investor protection legislation and entered into bilateral and multilateral investment treaties. As investments have increased worldwide, so have arbitrations to resolve investor-state disputes. The obvious alternative to litigation in local courts is the provision of international arbitration. Foreign investment contracts are the means through which investments are made.
Keywords:
