- Summary
- "[This book provides] legal analysis of Australia's trade and investment treaties in the context of their impact on national regulatory autonomy. This...study offers compelling lessons for not only Australia but also countries around the globe in relation to pressing current problems, including the uncertain future of the World Trade Organization and widespread concerns about the legitimacy of investor-state dispute settlement. Through a...exploration of evolving patterns of treaty practice, the authors address the complex relationship between international economic law and a state's regulatory autonomy in the key areas of intellectual property, services, and investment. This...investigation highlights problems of inconsistency across treaties, limited transparency and consultation in the negotiation of treaties, and increasing restrictions on policy space in intellectual property protection. These factors are all crucial in preserving a country's ability to pursue policy objectives such as protecting public health and the environment while capturing the benefits of international trade and foreign investment."--
