"Foreign investment is commonplace around the globe. Inbound and outbound foreign investment flows are massive as home country investors merge or acquire existing businesses or establish new companies in host countries. Investors purchase stocks and bonds on foreign exchanges, and sometimes foreign sovereign debt. The sums involved are staggering. Unlike international trade law governed significantly by the World Trade Organization, no uniform body of foreign investment law exists. Hence foreign investment law is predominantly national in character and varies considerably. Foreign Investment Law including Investor-State Arbitrations in a Nutshell reviews the law, practice, regulation and dispute settlement of foreign investment. Following the Nutshell tradition, citations are minimized creating a book that reads easily. Students, academics, lawyers, government officials and people in business will find it useful.

"In late 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) convened a public workshop to evaluate the need for changes in the debt collection system, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), to protect consumers better. Based on the workshop record and its experience, the Commission concludes that the debt collection legal system needs to be reformed and modernized to reflect changes in consumer debt, the debt collection industry, and technology. This report sets forth these changes and the modifications to the law the FTC believes are needed to provide better consumer protection without unduly burdening debt collection." - from the executive summary

"The 2nd edition of the Securities Litigation and Enforcement Nutshell focuses on an area of law that burgeoned nearly two decades ago after the accounting and corporate governance scandals at Enron, WorldCom, and other large publicly traded companies. It is an area of law that has only continued to expand with the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent legislation, including the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and the JOBS Act of 2012, and with several recent rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Nutshell examines private, SEC, and criminal enforcement of the federal securities laws, with an emphasis on the elements that establish securities fraud, and the doctrinal and practical issues that typically emerge in prosecuting or defending such claims.

"In late 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) convened a public workshop to evaluate the need for changes in the debt collection system, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), to protect consumers better. Based on the workshop record and its experience, the Commission concludes that the debt collection legal system needs to be reformed and modernized to reflect changes in consumer debt, the debt collection industry, and technology. This report sets forth these changes and the modifications to the law the FTC believes are needed to provide better consumer protection without unduly burdening debt collection." - from the executive summary

"Foreign investment is commonplace around the globe. Inbound and outbound foreign investment flows are massive as home country investors merge or acquire existing businesses or establish new companies in host countries. Investors purchase stocks and bonds on foreign exchanges, and sometimes foreign sovereign debt. The sums involved are staggering. Unlike international trade law governed significantly by the World Trade Organization, no uniform body of foreign investment law exists. Hence foreign investment law is predominantly national in character and varies considerably. Foreign Investment Law including Investor-State Arbitrations in a Nutshell reviews the law, practice, regulation and dispute settlement of foreign investment. Following the Nutshell tradition, citations are minimized creating a book that reads easily. Students, academics, lawyers, government officials and people in business will find it useful. After introducing entry and operational control patterns found primarily …
