This book explores and critically appraises the existing legal framework governing EU-China investment relations, particularly EU investment in China. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe current legal framework is composed of Chinese law, EU law and applicable international law, but the Chinese law is unsystematic and hard to discover and the EU has acquired only shared external investment competence which is vaguely defined. The applicable international treaties are incomplete, incoherent, or either too general or too specialised. Besides this, the international fora to settle investment disputes are still not readily available. Furthermore while law has played a very important role in decision-making by EU investors, the Chinese legal system is generally perceived as ineffective and lacking in effective enforcement of court and arbitration decisions. What the book demonstrates is that the time is ripe for a new international legal framework for foreign investment in China, and that as EU-China economic and political relations continue to improve, construction of such a framework is not only necessary, but also possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wenhua Shan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841133914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841133911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Wenhua Shan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088850497791,"sku":"9781841133911","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed0c2f3a-9a8a-4f78-a929-f69a51f6e302.jpg?v=1769106892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-legal-framework-of-eu-china-wenhua-shan-9781841133911","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
