The strengths of international investment law - above all, a strong focus on investor interests and an effective adjudication and enforcement system - also entail its weaknesses: it runs the danger of impeding or even sanctioning the host states' legitimate regulatory interests and ignoring other fields of public international law. How does it cope with public interest concerns such as human rights, the environment or the fight against corruption? At the heart of this book lies a fresh approach towards a general theory of such global public interest considerations in the investment realm. Delineating how and why those considerations matter, and why the current system does not accommodate them properly, Andreas Kulick fleshes out general principles and customary international law as defences the host state may raise against alleged investor rights infringements and promotes proportionality as the appropriate balancing mechanism.

Today there are more than 2,500 bilateral investment treaties (BITs) around the world. Most of these investment protection treaties offer foreign investors a direct cause of action to claim damages against host-states before international arbitral tribunals. This procedure, together with the requirement of compensation in indirect expropriations and the fair and equitable treatment standard, have transformed the way we think about state liability in international law. We live in the BIT generation, a world where BITs define the scope and conditions according to which states are economically accountable for the consequences of regulatory change and administrative action. Investment arbitration in the BIT generation carries new functions which pose unprecedented normative challenges, such as the arbitral bodies established to resolve investor/state disputes defining the relationship between property rights and the public interest. They also review state action for arbitrariness, and define the proper tests under which that review should proceed. State Liability in Investment Treaty Arbitration is an interdisciplinary work, aimed at academics and practitioners, which focuses on five key dimensions of BIT arbitration. First, it analyses the past practice of state responsibility for injuries to aliens, placing the BIT generation in historical perspective. Second, it develops a descriptive law-and-economics model that explains the proliferation of BITs, and why they are all worded so similarly. Third, it addresses the legitimacy deficits of this new form of dispute settlement, weighing its potential advantages and democratic shortfalls. Fourth, it gives a comparative overview of the universal tension between property rights and the public interest, and the problems and challenges associated with liability grounded in illegal and arbitrary state action. Finally, it presents a detailed legal study of the current state of BIT jurisprudence regarding indirect expropriations and the fair and equitable treatment clause.

Arbitration in Colombia is based on an ancient stringent legal formalism that has transplanted, transformed, and mixed, Spanish and Roman laws and legacies with French exegesis. It has also been based on German jurisprudence. This paper describes how Colombian legal formalism has limited the protection of public interests in arbitral proceedings as provided in the 1991 Colombian Constitution. It also shows how it has infused Administrative Law and mainly Procedural Law over time, where formalism is more stringent, and full of useless rhetorical technicalities. As a result, it has privileged the private interest over the public one despite the Constitutional provision to safeguard the public interest over private one. The protection of the public interest is grandiloquently stated in the constitution and in administrative law but with limited practical effect. Consequently, each phase in public private arbitration is lavishly regulated by an arbitral regime and several sections of the procedure code, the administrative procedure code and the public officials code, but none are effective at protecting the public interest. Instead of protecting the public interest, all the regulations compiled under the influence of the textualist legal culture, constitute barriers to achieving it and thus administrative law leaves it unprotected. El arbitraje en Colombia se basa en un antiguo formalismo legal estricto que ha trasplantado, transformado y mezclado, legados legales españoles y romanos con la exégesis francesa, y la jurisprudencia alemana de conceptos en su sistema legal. Este artículo describe cómo el formalismo jurídico colombiano ha limitado la protección del interés público en los procedimientos arbitrales, tal y como se establece en la Constitución colombiana de 1991. También mostrará cómo esto ha infundido el derecho administrativo y principalmente el derecho procesal a través del tiempo, donde el formalismo es más estricto, lleno de tecnicismos retóricos inútiles, lo que resulta en privilegiar el interés privado sobre el público a pesar de la disposición constitucional para salvaguardar el interés público sobre el privado. Afirmo también que la protección del interés público se enuncia grandilocuentemente en la Constitución y en el derecho administrativo, pero con un efecto práctico limitado. En consecuencia, cada fase del arbitraje público-privado está profusamente regulada por un régimen arbitral y varias secciones del código de procedimiento, el código de procedimiento administrativo y el código de funcionarios públicos, pero ninguno es eficaz para dar cuenta de la protección del interés público. En lugar de proteger el interés público, todas esas reglamentaciones, compiladas bajo la influencia de la cultura jurídica textualista, constituyen barreras para su consecución, por lo que el derecho administrativo lo deja desprotegido.

Although macroeconomic conditions are recognized as factors that influences country’s performance, little is known about how companies, sectors, and investment in marketing absorb such impacts. Drawing on myopic marketing theory, the paper’s goal is to analyze the relationship between macroeconomic conditions and investments in marketing by Brazilian companies. The authors use a panel data sample of 183 Brazilian companies with quarterly financial data (2010 to 2020).The authors obtained financial information from Economatica Platform and macroeconomic information from IpeaData. First, the results indicate that GDP, interest rates and consumer confidence are positively related and the exchange rate and unemployment have a negative relationship with marketing investments. Second, the impacts of these relationships are distinct across industry sectors. Third, the outcomes show that decisions regarding the level of investments and the expansion of investments in marketing depend on macroeconomic conditions indicating the contexts that influence the discretionarytreatment of the marketing budget. Embora as condições macroeconômicas sejam reconhecidas como fatores que influenciam o desempenho do País, pouco se sabe como as empresas, os diferentes setores e o investimento em marketing absorvem tais impactos. Utilizando a teoria da miopia em marketing, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação entre as condições macroeconômicas e os investimentosem marketing de empresas brasileiras. A amostra é formada por 183 empresas brasileiras com dados financeiros trimestrais, obtidos na Economática, e macroeconômicos, obtidos no IpeaData, de 2010 a 2020. Primeiro, os resultados indicam que o PIB, os juros e a confiança do consumidor estão relacionados positivamente, e o câmbio e o desemprego apresentaram relação negativa com os investimentos em marketing. Segundo, os impactos dessas relações diferem entre os vários setores. Terceiro, as análises demonstram que o nível de investimentos e de ampliação dos investimentos em marketing dependem das condições macroeconômicas, indicando que contextos influenciam o tratamento discricionário do orçamento de marketing. Aunque las condiciones macroeconómicas son reconocidas como factores que influyen en el desempeño del país, poco se sabe sobre cómo las empresas, los diferentes sectores y la inversión en marketing absorben dichos impactos.

La muestra consta de 183 empresas brasileñas con datos financieros trimestrales, obtenidos de Economática, y datos macroeconómicos, obtenidos de IpeaData, de 2010 a 2020. En primer lugar, los resultados indican que el PIB, las tasas de interés y la confianza del consumidor están relacionados positivamente y el tipo de cambio y el desempleo mostraron una relación negativa con las inversiones en marketing. En segundo, los impactos de estas relaciones difieren entre sectores. En tercer lugar, los análisis demuestran que el nivel de inversiones y la expansión de las inversiones en marketing dependen de las condiciones macroeconómicas, lo que indica que los contextos influyen en el tratamiento discrecional del presupuesto de marketing.

Objective. In this study, we utilized bibliometric techniques to identify patterns of scientific collaboration in Latin American investment research. By examining collaboration networks, we investigated the networks of authors, institutions, and countries involved in the research process. Methodology. This study employed the Scopus database to examine the literature published over the past two decades (2005-2023). The collaboration networks were represented as a network of co-authorship and collaboration among research scholars. The walk-trap clustering algorithm was employed to visualize the collaboration networks, with a restriction to display labels for a maximum of 50. Results. The international collaboration rate of authors was found to be 33.01%, indicating a relatively lower level of global collaboration. Despite a substantial research output over the last two decades, there needs to be more global interconnectedness. The University of São Paulo in Brazil and the University of California are the most collaborative among institutions. At the country level, Brazil is identified as the most collaborative nation among Latin American countries, engaging extensively in cooperative activities with both Latin American and other countries around the globe. This is indicative of a significant research emphasis in Brazil on the topic of investment. In addition, countries such as Trinidad and Tobago serve as a connecting link between Latin America and other regions, thereby underscoring their strategic role in fostering global research networks. Conclusion. Fostering collaboration networks at the author, institutional, and country levels can enhance knowledge's global flow and interexchange.
