Participation of Soes in International Investment Activities

Abstract

With the growing importance of state-owned enterprises in the international investment arena, there is a need to analyze the legislation and legal norms related to these relations. In addition, the use of state power by such enterprises in various forms, or the entry of another state’s investment market as different business entities and or the implementation of its own policies by use of these entities sometimes creates problematic situations, which deprives state-owned enterprises of investor benefits, privileges and protection that foreign investor should be provided. This article discusses such core issues of the topic and highlights some of the issues of the concept of state-owned enterprises, their participation as a state-owned enterprise or investor in the investment relationship.
