Abstract: "Nachhaltige Investitionen", "Grüne Fonds", "Grüne Anleihen" und "De-Risking-Strategien": mit den ambitionierten Zielen der "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) bringen fundamentale Veränderungen der Strukturen in der Entwicklungsfinanzierung mit sich, die sich mit den Begriffen der Finanzialisierung und Risikominderung (de-risking) gut beschreiben lassen. Die Finanzierung erneuerbarer Energieprojekte gibt Aufschluss über diese Prozesse und zeigt, welche neuen Abhängigkeiten und veränderten Machtstrukturen mit der wachsenden Bedeutung privater Finanzierung und öffentlich-privater Partnerschaften in der Entwicklungsfinanzierung und speziell am Energie-/Entwicklungs-Nexus einhergehen. Dieser Beitrag widmet sich den aktuellen Entwicklungen im Bereich der Finanzierung von erneuerbaren Energien am Beispiel der sambischen Energiewende. Hierbei wird die Durchführung zweier transnational orchestrierter Projekte für erneuerbare Energie (Scaling Solar und GETFiT) vor dem theoretischen Hint

Abstract: "1. IPRs can be a very useful instrument for making FDI policy more effective for the development process. 2. IPRs should not focus exclusively on foreign direct investment but rather on investment in general and consider FDI as one of several elements in the development process. 3. UNCTAD should, in accord with donor countries, take a greater say in the selection of the countries reviewed. The starting point should be an analysis of the absorption capacity and the need for external assistance in the countries in question. 4. In view of widely differing domestic capacities and different needs for and institutional policy advice, UNCTAD should undertake more efforts to adapt the volume of issues covered to the advice actually needed. Activities could extend from Quick Response Window action on one or few specific problems to an "IPR light" or a full-fledged IPR. 5. Recommendations should be based more on investors' and non-investors' experiences and assessments than on a formal inve

Abstract: "The economic and political rise of China has led to considerable controversy regarding potential repercussions for the current global governance architecture. At least two opposing scenarios are conceivable: China's adaptation to the rules and norms system shaped by developed countries or the pursuit of a distinctive policy approach, a possibility that involves the danger of clashing regulatory policies. A recent and increasingly dynamic trend giving substance to the phenomenon of China's rising importance is the growth of outward foreign direct investments (OFDI) by Chinese enterprises. Against this background, the present paper investigates the evolution and change of Chinese international investment policy-making, with a particular focus on bilateral investment treaties (BITs) as the most important legal instrument for the governance of global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. China has been a committed signatory of BITs since the early 1980s (120 treaties up to 2007). It
