The Legal Protection of Foreign Investments Against Political Risk: Japanese Business in the Asian Energy Sector

By Thomas Nektarios Papanastasiou

Book Overview

The Legal Protection of Foreign Investments Against Political Risk examines how political risks associated with foreign direct investment in the energy sector are managed or mitigated, and suggests new ways to deal with the possibility of such risk. It applies its analysis--using case studies and international law, and examining actual contracts--to the specific context of foreign investment in five Asian countries' power infrastructure projects. "Legal protection of foreign investments against political risk has been a problem for a long time. Professor Papanastasiou's book brilliantly balances the legitimate regulatory power of host states with legitimate business interests of foreign investors by presenting a neatly designed multi-layered legal framework for political risk management. This is an important contribution to both the study of international investment law and the practice of foreign investment business transactions." Junji Nakagawa, Professor of International Economic Law, Institute of Social Science, University of Tokyo
