520 _aFocuses initially on host-country policies that attempt to shape foreign investor activities especially investment promotion, domestic-content requirements, and export-performance requirements. Looks at host-country policies that attempt to constrain ownership on the part of foreign direct investors, in particular, joint-venture mandates and technology-licensing requirements. Examines special problems of host-country policies toward natural-resource and private-infrastructure investments.
