{"product_id":"investment-protection-and-environmental-governance","title":"Investment Protection and Environmental Governance","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores key innovations in the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement that shape Vietnam s ability to regulate for environmental protection an essential pillar of sustainable development. It places this regulatory power within Vietnam s broader historical and developmental context, offering analysis relevant to emerging economies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than assessing all levels of investment protection, the book focuses on specific provisions that support a host state s ability to adopt environmental and sustainable development measures. It examines how these clauses function in practice and the challenges they present, especially for developing countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExisting literature often addresses investment protection in abstract or general terms. This book takes a more grounded approach, exploring how broad principles interact with Vietnam s legal capacity, policy needs, and developmental constraints. It argues that divergence from generalised assumptions is not a contradiction, but a reflection of differentiated conditions, including environmental urgency, institutional capacity, and the risk of  regulatory chill,  where states may hesitate to act for fear of investor claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book offers practical insights for negotiators, policymakers, and legal practitioners involved in foreign investment governance, especially in emerging economies. It also serves as a valuable reference for scholars and stakeholders - particularly in the EU - seeking to understand the regulatory priorities and limitations of their partners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53986906308946,"sku":"9783032053312","price":171.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_cde466c1-fe9c-4b17-b0ac-212e8cf43375.jpg?v=1783913289","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/investment-protection-and-environmental-governance","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
