Foreign direct investment is a complex phenomenon and the history of international investment law, particularly over the last three decades, ‘reflects economic and political debate and conflict’: 1 This explains the attention paid to the subject by scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including law, the social sciences, business and management. These studies have contributed to the understanding not only of the various facets of FDI, but also the evolution of FDI as a phenomenon. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
