Summary
Trade, investment and taxation
Part IV seeks to explore how the new constitutionalism of disciplinary neo-liberalism has reshaped the global regimes on investment, trade and taxation. It outlines how neo-liberal restructuring of these regimes – despite contradictions and crises – is intensifying in ways that are driven by, and that tend to reinforce, the direct and structural power of capital. The five main themes in Part IV are:
The globalization of capital-exporting legal norms.
The expansion of market-based investment disciplines and agreements.
Challenges for public service provision and environmental regulation in light of these neo-liberal arrangements.
Prospects for the post-global economic crisis political economy of taxation.
Prospects for alternative forms of governance of the investment, trade and tax regimes.
