Book Description
Spanish Abstract: Las tres últimas décadas han sido testigo de un crecimiento constante de la inversión extranjera. La situación, sin embargo, parece que comienza a cambiar. La crisis económica de los últimos años y el acelerado proceso de liberalización de las economías que ha conducido a la privatización de grandes y relevantes sectores de éstas, unido a la aparición de novedosos actores económicos, y a los cambios geoestratégicos vinculados a la consolidación de nuevas potencias económicas, han puesto a la defensiva a ciertas economías desarrolladas. Un número creciente de países observan con preocupación cómo importantes sectores de su economía, infraestructuras y tecnologías críticas o empresas de bandera, esenciales en muchas ocasiones para el funcionamiento del país, pueden pasar a ser controlados por inversores extranjeros. Inversores en algunas ocasiones propiedad de gobiernos extranjeros que no siempre aseguran una actitud recíproca hacia las inversiones dirigidas a su territorio. Esta preocupación está favoreciendo una creciente focalización en la fase previa a la realización de la inversión. Y, por ende, la consolidación de mecanismos de control de la inversión extranjera ?screening systems? que, vinculándose a la idea de seguridad nacional y nociones similares, buscan proteger al Estado frente a inversiones no deseadas. Esta tendencia adquiere un especial protagonismo en la Unión Europea, donde se prevé la próxima aprobación de un Reglamento sobre el control de las inversiones extranjeras directas. El libro analiza en profundidad un tema de enorme actualidad y trascendencia jurídica, amén de económica y social. Abordando de manera exhaustiva las soluciones aportadas a esta cuestión en diversos países del mundo, y valorando las perspectivas de futuro. De esta forma está llamado a convertirse en un referente imprescindible para los operadores jurídicos y económicos.

Book Description
This paper aims to lay a wide-ranging base for untangling the digital economy, in order to facilitate and moderate the high-speed evolution and create an awareness of the new economic coherence. It attempts to show the differences between industrial and digital economics. It finds that old models based on methods of traditional industrial economics still provide a stable framework for analysis of the new age economy whilst also highlighting the need for future refocusing.

Book Description
Foreign direct investment has quadrupled over the past decade in Latin America, which today is one of the world's major investment magnets. Yet the question of which foreign investment policies maximize these inflows remains unanswered. Even though the shift to market-oriented economies has liberalized investment policies throughout Latin America, FDI remains concentrated in only a few countries. Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America evaluates the volume of these new FDI inflows, the factors that attracted them, and their contribution to Latin American development. The book analyzes investment decisions in part through a comprehensive survey of businesses that have recently invested in the region. Case studies of FDI flows to Argentina, Chile and Colombia examine the role of foreign investment liberalization, incentives and performance requirements, complementary policies in such areas as macroeconomics, taxation, foreign exchange and trade, and foreign debt conversion programs.

Book Description
Throughout the twentieth century, the Chilean business elite has played a central role in the country, not just as entrepreneurs but also as political and social actors. The chapters in this book, the first in English on the history of Chilean business, focus on the importance of diversified family business groups in twentieth-century Chile, their dynamics, organisation, and management, and their interaction with foreign investors and the state. Using a range of company and government archives, as well as other contemporary sources in Chile, Britain, and the United States, the individual authors pay particular attention to many key topics: the evolution of the Edwards family businesses, those of Pascual Baburizza, Chilean corporate networks, British firms in the nitrate industry, the Anglo South American Bank, the Copec group, Compañía Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego, the energy sector, SOFOFA (the industrialists’ association), and the recent growth of Chilean multinationals.

Book Description
In today's "global village", nearly 450 million people speak English while another 350 million speak Spanish. The United States alone, with its more than 22 million Hispanic Americans, is now considered by many to be a bilingual society. As the practice of law and the resolution of legal issues, to a great extent, is all about precise communication, the impact of this on legal and business professionals is obvious - Spanish/English, English/Spanish translations are fast becoming an indispensable component of any thriving law practice or business, be it a small company or a multinational corporation. Translations are now routinely required for trials, contracts, real estate and financial transactions, and in many other situations. Clearly then, the need for a comprehensive bilingual reference such as this one has never been greater. Wiley's English/Spanish and Spanish/English Legal Dictionary offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of more than 40,000 essential words and phrases spanning all legal disciplines and subdisciplines including construction, real estate, insurance, business, trial, environmental law, intellectual property, family law, and more. It was written by a professional translator in collaboration with an advisory committee comprising attorneys from some of the most prominent firms in the international legal community. Featuring an extremely user-friendly format, the Dictionary was designed for quick reference. It directs you instantly to the precise equivalent you need without first "rerouting" you through a maze of other irrelevant terms and phrases. Gender neutral equivalents are provided, and in cases where the nongender neutral term is the norm, both are given.Wiley's English/Spanish and Spanish/English Legal Dictionary puts all important English and Spanish legal terms at the fingertips of attorneys, businesspeople, paralegals, and law students. It belongs on the shelves of law firms, libraries, businesses, and international agencies. It is also an essential communications tool for translators, interpreters, and civil servants.
