Description

Is a new constitutional system that ensures rates of return on investment interests exclusive to foreign investors? Schneiderman investigates the connections between a new set of investment regulations and state constitutions – between a system for the protection of foreign investment that is akin to a constitution and the constitutional initiatives of national governments. The investment rules regime views democratically approved state activity as intrinsically suspicious, much like in traditional theories of constitutionalism. Despite the many reasons that constitutionalism serves, the investment rules regime’s main objective is to establish boundaries that, when exceeded, will make citizen-driven politics impossible to pursue. These boundaries exist both inside and outside of national constitutional systems. The author makes the point that any transnational system should promote innovation, experimentation, and the capacity to envision alternate possibilities for regulating the interaction between politics and markets by drawing on both modern and historical case studies. The most effective way to achieve these goals has been through democratic institutions acting at the local, state, and federal levels.

Numerous case studies demonstrate how states from all over the world are required to adhere to the investment laws and regulations that are supported by the industrialized nations of the North.
explains how the constitutional-like principles of investment law support the processes connected to economic globalization and offers strategies for preventing or reversing some of these developments.
An interdisciplinary approach enables a deeper comprehension of the intricate processes connected to economic globalization.
