'This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the main existing efforts on investment facilitation. It is a great contribution for scholars and for trade negotiators and policymakers, as investment facilitation has been proved to be key to attract not only more but better investment, which is necessary for the transition to a more sustainable economy.' Sofía Boza, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Chile to the World Trade Organization 'This is the most comprehensive guide to international investment frameworks today. It is a must for policymakers, scholars, and businesses interested in understanding the details of this important topic.' Anabel González, Vice President for Countries, Inter-American Development Bank 'This book convincingly explains how WTO members, especially developing members, have worked together to strengthen the multilateral trading system and foster sustainable development through making the landmark WTO Agreement on Investment Facilitation for Development. It serves as a valuable reference for trade policymakers, scholars, and law practitioners.' LI Chenggang, Ambassador, Permanent Mission of the People's Republic of China to the World Trade Organization 'The international debate on investment facilitation sits at the fascinating intersection of law, politics, and economics. This book provides a valuable contribution to an issue area that is increasingly important. Timely and multidisciplinary, it's poised to become a reference in investment facilitation.' Tatiana Prazeres, Foreign Trade Secretary of Brazil 'Investment facilitation frameworks are becoming ever-more important in the international investment regime. This is the best guide to date.' Lauge N. Skovgaard Poulsen, Professor, University College London 'This impressive volume contains a comprehensive discussion of a range of issues related to the WTO's Investment Facilitation for Development Agreement, contributed by an international group of multidisciplinary scholars who have an excellent understanding of the subject matter.'
