AbstractThis article examines the evolving debate over takeover bids by foreign state-owned and influenced enterprises (SOEs) in the context of CNOOC's successful 2012 acquisition of Nexen Inc., historical debates over foreign investment in Canada and the ongoing adaptation of Canadian trade and investment policies to global shifts in economic activity and power. It views SOE-related policy changes as responses to four broad factors: Canada's adaptation to changing global investment patterns as a small, open economy, efforts to diversify Canada's trade and investment relations while balancing domestic regional and sectoral interests, the extension of trade-related principles of reciprocity to investment policies and competition among governmental and economic interests in the allocation of discretion in corporate governance and related regulatory policies.

Sustainability of development and making investment sustainable are reinforcing and correlated. The investor does not invest unless their investment is permitted and protected by the laws and policies of the host state. There exist a number of principles for investment policymaking for sustainable development within which relationship between investors, host states and local communities is a key requirement. Environmental sustainability, social equity and inclusiveness and economic growth are reinforcing and complementing each other which are the three pillars of sustainable development. Nepal had, at the time of WTO accession, confirmed to amend trade related investments measures regime i.e. Foreign Investment and One Window Policy 1992, Industrial Policy 1992 and others, to ensure the compliance with the WTO Agreement on Trade Related Investment Measure (TRIMS). By now, the laws of Nepal, except few, are in compliance with the WTO standards. Nepal has some prospective areas of investment, mostly based on agriculture and service business. Trade and investment with sustainable development, is a pragmatic approach which encourages upgrading policies and laws. However, investment policy alone cannot provide a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution for all economies that depends on the eco-socio-political conditions of individual countries.

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has seriously affected the international investment policies of the G20 countries. There has been a growing trend to introduce measures with reference to the protection of national security aiming at countering threats that may be associated with foreign investment. Given the role of international investment in alleviating the economic crisis, governments should continue to improve the investment climate while protecting their national security interests.

Trade And Investment

Expanded international trade in goods and services has driven economic development in the Asia-Pacific since the 1994 APEC Bogor declaration that called for free trade and investment in the region. Despite this goal, APEC has predominantly focussed on international trade rather than investment. To redress this bias, the paper first highlights the benefits from increased international investment before examining APEC foreign investment flows relative to trade flows in APEC economies. It then examines key trends before concluding that APEC should prioritize foreign investment to accelerate economic development and living standards in the region.
