By Aaron Cosbey, Luke Eric Peterson, Konrad von Moltke on August 15, 2003

This paper served as background to the IISD-RIIA Chatham House experts' meeting on investment, and the subsequent briefings in Geneva and Brussels. It looks at the historical experience of investment agreements, and asks if Doha, and the WTO as an institution, can deliver. It then asks what types of international investment agreements are needed to promote sustainable development.
