-
摘要: 国际投资体系正在遭遇危机,越来越多的国家开始质疑双边投资协定提供的投资者保护制度是否确实有益于增加投资的流动,全球多个国家正在审慎地进行外国投资法的改革。基于此,文章以南非的实践为现实起点,通过概述南非投资保护制度变革的缘由以及深入剖析《投资保护法案》的立法意图,阐明其以国内立法维护公共利益监管权力的法律选择,旨在“一带一路”背景下,为远赴南非的中国投资者提供法律风险的预判,揭示外资法变革对于中国投资者可能产生的影响。对于南非建立新的投资保护制度,其将面临的挑战是如何维持稳定、可预测的投资环境与实现投资保护改革的若干目标之间的平衡。Abstract: The international investment system is in crisis, and a growing number of countries are questioning whether the investor protection system provided by bilateral investment agreements is indeed beneficial to increase the flow of investment.Many countries around the world are carrying out drastic reforms in foreign investment laws.Taking South Africa's practice as a realistic starting point,with summarizing the reasons for the reform of South Africa's investment protection system and deeply analyzing the legislative intent of "Protection of Investment Law", this paper expounds its choice of safeguarding the regulatory power of domestic public interests through domestic legislation so as to provide recessive legal risk report and to reveal the significance of law reform for Chinese investors in South Africa during the process of "One Belt One Road".As for the authorities of South Africa,the challenge to establish a new investment protection system in the future lies in how to maintain a balance between keeping a stable,predictable investment environment and achieving several objectives of reform.
