- Abstract
Compared to other countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, positive effects on Philippine economic growth and foreign direct investment (FDI) is limited recently, which might result from the policy of economic nationalism. This paper reviews related articles to investigate why the Philippines’ constitutional and legislative framework for FDI lowers the benefits of foreigners and what can be done to promote the effect of FDI in the future. This paper can provide reference and policy enlightenment for similar developing countries. Through reviewing related articles, this paper finds that under the legislative framework of economic nationalism, foreign investors’ ability to safeguard their investment positions and interests in arbitration is restrictive. More policy proposals in terms of legislation on freeing restrictions on foreign investors should be proposed in the future.
