Rule Making

China is becoming one of the key stakeholders in the international investment regime. It is, however, still unclear what role China can play in the ongoing reform of the international investment regime. Starting from this overall focus, this article analyses the most recent period of China’s international investment policy-making. Mapping the contents of investment treaties signed since 2008 it argues that China undertook a partial ‘NAFTA-ization’. Whilst China has adopted a number of clauses invented by the NAFTA countries, it introduced these clauses in an incoherent fashion. Looking at the drivers of this peculiar policy, this article argues that China’s investment treaty-making practice is largely inspired by its partner countries. As a result of this particular negotiation policy, Beijing’s approach to international investment rule-making is inconsistent. This belies the argument that China can make a significant contribution to reforming the international investment regime.

Enterprise Investment

The article analyzes multiple definitions of enterprise investment policy. It reveals the scientists’ judgments on the essence of the enterprise investment policy and presents the term definitions integrated with the scientific approach, applying semantic-syntactic criteria in the ontological analysis methodology. In terms of the scientific approaches, suggested by the authors, the objectives of the industrial enterprise investment policy, methods for evaluating the investment policy in general, and the capital investment projects specifically are considered. The authors outline the main problematic issues that require further in-depth research. Differences in the objectives of the investment policy between the enterprises inside the branch, as well as factors of influence on institutional conditions of investment into the metallurgical industry are identified based on the analysis of the strategic profile of the national metallurgical companies and analytical data of the World Steel Association. The authors give the essential criteria of the investment activity efficiency in the field, among which are: fluctuation in world metal prices; the national currency exchange rate volatility; vertical integration in metallurgic enterprise management; oligopoly in the domestic metallurgical market. Approaches, proposed by the authors, are relevant both methodologically and practically, and encourage to further investigation of the enterprise investment policy and investment activity specifics in the metallurgical industry sector.

Research undertaken for the volume found that changes in the way that trade and investment agreements are negotiated, as well as sustainable development-related innovations contained in the procedural rules of the trade and investment treaties, from an interactional view, have implications for the way the treaty texts integrate for sustainable development. This chapter discusses four procedural innovations which are being used by Parties to identify potential environmental and sustainability impacts, and to consider innovative measures for inclusion in their trade and investment agreements. First, it considers impact assessments of trade and investment liberalization policies and draft treaties, focusing on the origins and scope of impact assessment processes, their mandates and methodologies, their role in integrating social and environmental issues into economic trade policy and how they could be improved. Second, it considers consultations between economic, environmental and social development authorities as a mechanism to secure more integrated and coherent trade and investment policy-making. Third, the chapter discusses transparency and public participation mechanisms, in agreement negotiations and the agreements themselves. Finally, it explores innovative dispute settlement provisions.

The Way

One of the most important and concrete outcomes of China’s G20 presidency was the establishment of a Trade and Investment Working Group (TIWG), recognizing that robust and sustainable trade and investment reinforces economic growth and calling for enhanced G20 trade and investment cooperation. The Chinese presidency’s renewed approach was not only to bring stand-alone investment issues to the G20 table, but also to re-spark the conversation on investment and trade policy-making by bringing them closer together again, acknowledging the complementarity of trade and investment as the engines of economic growth. This has paved the way for coherent, integrated discussions on trade and investment for the first time in fifteen years in the global political arena. On the investment side, the TIWG delivered the G20 Guiding Principles for Global Investment Policy-Making (G20 Guiding Principles), a key outcome of the Chinese presidency. These were endorsed by trade ministers in Shanghai in July 2016 and then by heads of state at the Hangzhou Summit in September 2016, with the objective of fostering an open, transparent, and conducive global policy environment for investment; promoting coherence in national and international investment policy-making; and promoting inclusive economic growth and sustainable development. The G20 Guiding Principles are introduced in the chapter. It begins with a background review of their crafting and various attempts at devising guiding principles on international investment, and identifies some of the guidelines that have paved the way for the Principles. The chapter then focuses on the objectives, scope, and content of the G20 Guiding Principles and considers their potential impact on policy-making at the domestic and international levels. Finally, the chapter addresses the broader work of the G20 TIWG, including the trade and investment linkage, analyses the general state of play of G20 countries’ investment agreements, and offers some preliminary conclusions and ways forward.
