‘The advantages of enlarging the EU after the end of the cold war were significant for its member states.’ How valid is this assessment?

An example where the EU has influenced a county and provided something that before would not have been possible is with the channel tunnel (euro tunnel) this is a large rail line that connects England to France via an underground rail way under the North Sea.

Institutions seek arbitration as a form of resolution simply because they were designed to be impartial to the interests of the affected country. Should the case be filed in the host country, one can only assume that the courts will have the interest of its nation, where losses can amount to millions of euros (borne by the government and taxpayers alike) and arguably to the wider EU community so that it may be seen as a nation with a respectable judicial system and an EU team player. 3. As a foreign investor, do you want to support BITs and arbitration or rely on local court systems?

Failure of IVJ is defined by Nielsen as “sub-optimal long-term performance for the joint venture as a result of reduced knowledge exchange”. Termination of IVJ does not necessarily equal to failure as meeting the objectives can be a positive cause. Therefore, this essay will first examine the rationale behind IJV, followed by an illustration of the failure of IJV.
They document that some sectors present co-movements, and some do not. The finding of the sectoral heterogeneity of contagion supports the notion that some sectors are able to achieve the benefits of international diversification despite co-movements prevailing at the market level. Balli et al., (2011) explore the impact of these recent structural changes on the Euro-wide sectoral equity indices using the return and volatility from 1992 to 2007.
