This book comprehensively investigates the rationale and effects of the first international agreement on investment facilitation for development, including the interests of key WTO members. It adopts a multidisciplinary, transregional, and data-driven approach to explore the political, economic, and legal aspects pertaining to the investment facilitation for development agreement. The book highlights how this agreement broadens the scope of the WTO to the area of foreign investment and adopts the innovative facilitation approach. The book presents cutting-edge research on the (non-)adoption of investment facilitation worldwide, the economic impact of the agreement, its legal implications, and the political economy explaining why the investment facilitation for development agreement came about. The book brings together leading experts from various disciplines and practices and aims at inspiring more substantive research in this new field of international economic rule-making.
