Professor Bismuth's paper focused on "The Legal Framework for the Regulation of Political and Economic Risks of State Capitalism". As Bismuth explains, foreign investments that are carried out by state entities (for instance Sovereign Stealth Funds or State-Owned Enterprises) raise serious concerns for the host states of these investments. More particularly, sovereign investments are suspected of pursuing primarily political objectives rather than purely financial or economic ones as is the case for private investors. Professor Bismuth's presentation highlighted the deficiencies of international law as well as the limits and uncertainties of domestic instruments for a comprehensive regulation of this phenomenon. More information on this conference During the same week, Régis Bismuth also participated in a one-day research workshop at La Sorbonne in Paris, on the theme "The Relevance of International trade Law for international Investment Law". |
Professor Régis Bismuth presented a paper at an international conference held in Québec, Canada, at the University of Laval, on the theme: "State Capitalism in the New Global Political Economy", November 21-24 2013.

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
