NUNEZ NARANJO, Edwin Santiago. La estrategia actual de Ecuador frente al Régimen Internacional de Inversiones. Relac. int. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.59, pp.87-97. ISSN 2314-2766.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142766e108.

The objective of this work was to discover Ecuador’s current strategy to attract foreign direct investment. A historical review of the International Investment Regime in which Ecuador has participated as well as a qualitative, bibliographic and field examination of Ecuadorian foreign policy regarding investments between 2007 and 2019 were carried out. The analysis has shown that the Ecuadorian flows of foreign direct investment have not increased due to a changing discourse: between 2007 and 2017, denouncing the dispute resolution system established and the international investment agreements signed; between 2017 and 2019, promoting the signing of new agreements.

Keywords : Ecuador; strategy; Foreign Direct Investment; Bilateral Investment Treaties; Developing countries.
