El presente artículo tendrá por objeto poner en tela de juicio si los acuerdos de protección de inversiones, que restringen severamente las potestades soberanas de los Estados, efectivamente atraen inversiones extranjeras en general y directas en particular, de manera que no se configuren simplemente como una carga innecesaria para el Estado que recurre a ellos. Esto, teniendo en cuenta especialmente que la idea central de aquellos tratados es promover el flujo de capitales desde países desarrollados a países en desarrollo. Luego de reseñar diferentes estudios realizados sobre el tema, puede demostrarse que no es posible establecer de forma concluyente que los acuerdos de protección de inversiones tengan o no un papel significativo en la atracción de inversiones, y que en realidad la lupa debería ponerse sobre otros factores que tienen un rol más importante para promover la inversión extranjera.

| description |
This article’s objective is to put into question whether investment protection agreements, while severely restricting States’ sovereign powers, effectively attract foreign investments in general and direct investments in particular, so as not to become an unnecessary burden on the State that turns to them. This shall be achieved bearing in mind specifically that the central idea of these treaties is to promote the flux of capital from developed countries to developing countries. After reviewing different studies on the subject, it can be shown that it is not possible to establish in a conclusive manner that investment protection agreements do or do not have a significant role in attracting investments, and that in fact, emphasis should be placed in other factors that play a more important part in promoting foreign investment. |
