Rules and agreements for multinational investment have been sought since the end of World War II. The task has proven elusive, though. While numerous bilateral agreements have been struck
between countries, the number and effectiveness of multinational agreements on investments have been scarcer. This book examines the reasons behind this contrast, examining the current
political environment and suggesting a rationale for making the World Trade Organization the primary international body for developing and implementing such agreements. Distributed in the US by
