En la presente obra se explora el Derecho internacional de inversiones desde la perspectiva del desarrollo sostenible. Ello obliga a partir de una cierta paradoja: de un lado, determinados países no están en condiciones de alcanzar un desarrollo económico adecuado sin la presencia de inversiones extranjeras; pero, al mismo tiempo, de otro lado, la presencia de tales inversiones puede resultar contraproducente a medio plazo para la sostenibilidad de dicho desarrollo en tales zonas. En esta encrucijada, los actuales mecanismos previstos por el Derecho internacional de inversiones -particularmente, los denominados APPRIs (Acuerdos de Protección y Promoción Recíproca de Inversiones)- se enfrentan al reto de conciliar los intereses presentes contrapuestos; esto es, por una parte, los de los Estados tradicionalmente receptores de inversión en la garantía de un desarrollo económico sostenible, y por otra parte, los de los inversores extranjeros en la rentabilidad de sus inversiones.

Consisting of country case studies and comparative analyses from Latin American and US based political economists, this volume examines the recent history of foreign investment for development in Latin America in the context of the current backlash against ‘Washington Consensus’ policies. These essays form the broad conclusion that foreign direct investment fell far short of generating the necessary linkages for sustainable economic development.

La industria extractiva y el Derecho internacional de inversiones, en su operatividad, tienen que encontrarse con el Derecho nacional del Estado de acogida de la inversión, ya sea de Derecho civil o de Derecho anglosajón, algunos estables, otros variables, algunos proinversor otros proEstado. Al mismo tiempo, el sector global de las industrias extractivas es, a nivel internacional, regulado por medio de pautas cuyas cuestiones crean los aspectos fundamentales en el alcance de las obligaciones en los tratados de inversiones, de las resoluciones en las controversias de dichos tratados resueltas mediante arbitraje internacional y por ende de la creación del Derecho internacional de inversiones. El libro responde a los estándares internacionales que han sido identificados por los actores de la industria extractiva. Los estándares internacionales sirven como marco de la mejor práctica, tendientes a obtener un cambio y desarrollo sostenibles en la industria minera, energética, petrolera y metalúrgica. Tales estándares han sido creados con el objetivo de que todas las compañías -miembros y no miembros de las distintas instituciones o entidades que los promueven-los implementen como principios completos y de manera trasparente en el reporte de sus actividades.

International Natural Resources Law, Investment and Sustainability provides a clear and concise insight into the relationship between the institutions that govern foreign investment, sustainable development and the rules and regulations that administer natural resources. In this book, several leading experts explore different perspectives in how investment and natural resources come together to achieve sustainable development in developing countries with examples from water, oil and gas, renewable energy, mineral, agriculture, and carbon trading. Despite varying perspectives, it is clear that several themes are central in considering the linkages between natural resources, investment and sustainability. Specifically, transparency, good governance and citizen empowerment are vital conditions which encourage positive social, economic and environmental outcomes for developing countries. In addition, this book provides new insights into key concepts which underpin international law, including sovereign rights and state responsibility principles. It is clear from this book that in the attempt to reconcile these concepts and principles from separate legal regimes, complex policy questions emerge whereby it is difficult to attain mutually beneficial or succinct outcomes. This book explores how countries prioritise their policy objectives to achieve their notion of sustainable natural resource use, which is strongly influenced by power imbalances that inform North–South cooperation, as well as South–South cooperation in the international investment regime. This book will be of great interest to students, academics and researchers of international environmental law, international human rights law, international investment law and international economic law. This book may also be of relevance to environmentalists, policy-makers, NGOs, and investors working in the natural resources field.

Sustainable development, as defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development, is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." More specifically, sustainable development is a process of change that seeks to improve the collective quality of life by focusing on economically, socially, and environmentally sound projects that are viable in the long-term. Sustainable development requires structural economic change and the foundation of that change is investment. In developing nations with low levels of domestic savings, investment predictably comes from abroad in the form of foreign direct investment. A large and ever expanding number of international investment agreements are in place to govern these transactions. While these accords seek to foster development while mitigating the risk involved in these types investments, many questions remain unresolved. This highly insightful book reflects the contributions of a variety of world renowned experts each of which is designed to provide the reader with valuable perspective on recent developments in investment law negotiations and jurisprudence from a sustainable development law perspective. It offers answers to pertinent questions concerning advancements in investment law, including the negotiation of numerous regional and bilateral agreements as well as the increasing number of disputes resolved in the World Bank's International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), from different developed and developing country perspectives. It lays out future directions for new treaty negotiations and dispute settlement proceedings, as well as ongoing investment promotion efforts, against a background of rapidly evolving international relationships between economic, environment and development law. It focuses on key issues in investment laws which have emerged as priorities in the negotiation of bilateral and regional investment agreements, and have been clarified through recent decisions of the ICSID and other arbitral panel awards.
