Price includes worldwide shipping via trusted international courier

The Covid-19 pandemic, the significant expansion of Chinese investment abroad, and recent geo-political tensions have all served to strengthen national security considerations in merger control and foreign direct investment (FDI) processes. Against this backdrop, Merger Control, National Security, and Foreign Direct Investment Screening: A Comparative Perspective provides a comprehensive exploration of the intricate interplay between national security, foreign direct investment, and competition policy in an increasingly interconnected global economy.

Central to the book's analysis is the exploration of FDI screening mechanisms from a national security perspective as they apply to M&A transactions. Spanning a wide array of jurisdictions, including case studies from the EU, UK, US and China, the book examines how lawmakers navigate protecting strategic sectors while promoting a welcoming environment for investors, and how competition authorities incorporate national security concerns into merger control assessments.

Contents: Merger Control Regimes Around the World; National Security and FDI Screening in the EU; National Security and FDI Screening in the UK; National Security and FDI Screening in the US; National Security and FDI Screening in China; National Security and FDI Screening in Russia, Japan, India and South Africa; Merger Control as Industrial Policy.
