This book shows how the current reform in investment regulation is part of a broader attempt to transform the international economic order. Countries in the North and South are currently rethinking how economic order should be constituted in order to advance their national interests and preferred economic orientation. While some countries in the North seek to create alternative institutional spaces in order to promote neoliberal policies more effectively, some countries in the South are increasingly skeptical of this version of economic order and are experimenting with alternative versions of legal ordering that do not always sit well with mainstream versions promoted by the North. While we recognize that there are differences in approaches to the investment regimes proposed by countries in the South, we identify commonalities that could function as the founding pillars of an alternative economic order.

Este artículo analiza las principales características regulatorias de las relaciones económicas entre Angola y Brasil, como un ejemplo de las relaciones Sur-Sur. Identificamos, en este análisis, particularidades en la coordinación económica entre estos países, no sin observar el discurso de la cooperación y las estructuras económicas de financiamiento que afectan las relaciones comerciales y de inversión.

A presente pesquisa possui como problema central de investigação a análise do impacto da corrupção no fluxo de investimento estrangeiro direto (IED). A primeira parte da pesquisa estuda o papel do IED na economia globalizada; a segunda tem como objetivo analisar as consequências da corrupção em operações envolvendo IED. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema. A etapa da investigação aponta que a percepção da corrupção pode ser um fator condicionante para o ingresso de IED em um determinado país.

Lately, corruption has become a matter of international concern. A new approach proposes the development of anti-corruption policies directed to the private sector, especially transnational corporations. The idea is to implement mechanisms that attack the supply side of corruption. This research aims to analyze the evolution of international mechanisms for control of corruption directed to transnational corporations. The focus will be on the international treaties. The goal is to identify the existence of an international anti-corruption regime. This research is exploratory in nature. It is an introduction to the subject, especially for policymakers from countries with emerging economies that are not yet familiar with the study on the subject. It was decided to conduct a bibliographic review, using interdisciplinary sources. Some preliminary conclusions were reached. States must intervene in this process by creating disincentives for the realization of corrupt practices by the business sector, especially in relation to transnational corporations. International treaties do not have the power to automatically implement anti-corruption mechanisms, requiring legislative reforms on the part of the States Parties. In this context, the evaluation systems play an important role in compelling nations to take action. As a result, there is a "regulatory race to the top" of anti-corruption norms, extremely beneficial for the international community. With the omnipresence of the corruption control in the world, a good alternative for emerging economies, like Brazil, is implementing anti-corruption measures provided by in international law, otherwise they may suffer losses in their business activities.
