Instruments for evaluating foreign investments in the world and their debates in Brazil

Globalization has brought with it a number of challenges to the flow of capital between countries. Among them is the need to evaluate and monitor foreign investments, both to attract resources and
to ensure the security of strategic sectors. This book, the result of a pioneering initiative of the Research Institute Applied Economic Policy (Ipea), explores the evaluation instruments of foreign investments (IAIEs), analyzing the experiences of fourteen countries and the European Union.

With examples ranging from the traditional Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) at structures in China and Australia, the work reveals how different countries have adapted their mechanisms to face conflicts geoeconomic and geopolitical and technological transformations.

The work has the contribution of renowned specialists and It is divided into three parts: the first, with basic concepts, data and fundamentals of IAIEs; the second, with notes on the functioning of IAIs in selected countries; and, by the third, with common procedures and criteria applied by such mechanisms. It is an invitation to reflect on openness in line with strategic protection in times of
intense transformations in multilateralism.
