Van Harten: Policy Impacts of Investment Agreements for Andean Community States

Gus Van Harten (York Univ. - Osgoode Hall Law School) has posted Policy Impacts of Investment Agreements for Andean Community States. Here's the abstract:
This report examines the impact of certain investment agreements on government decision-making. Primarily, it examines the impact of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) concluded between European Community (EC) member states and Andean Community (CAP) states. Additionally, it examines the impact of the investment provisions of Economic Partnership Agreement. The analysis focuses on CAP states and, in some respects, on government decision-making in strategic sectors.
