There was a time when the developed countries colonised the developing and least-developed countries in the world through land but since the independence of these countries during 1940-50s, the developed states invented a new idea to colonise them that is through economy. \u2018Globacolisation\u2019 is a newly invented word that reflects the reality of the economic colonisation of the developing and least-developed states in the past, present and future. This article aims to analyse the institution of a bilateral investment treaty (BIT) and regional investment treaties and their contribution to the development of the law of foreign investment. It will also cover: an analysis of the investment protection provisions of the main regional trade and investment treaties; and the recent free trade agreements. The objective is to provide a sophisticated understanding of the standard of treatment of foreign investors under these treaties as opposed to customary international law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Foreign Investment, Regulation, Bilateral Investment Treaties, Regional Investment Treaties, Customary International Law<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Preferred Citation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: JUSTIFY;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Mohammad Belayet Hossain, <em>Regulation of foreign investment under bilateral and regional investment treaties<\/em>, The Lex-Warrier: Online Law Journal (2019) 1, pp. 1 &#8211; 25, ISSN (O): 2319-8338<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"brz-root__container\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lex-warrier.in\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Regulation-of-foreign-investment-under-bilateral-and-regional-investment-treaties.pdf\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#ef792d;border-color:#c06124;border-radius:7px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:7px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;border-color:#f4a26c;border-radius:7px;text-shadow:none\"><i class=\"sui sui-file-pdf-o\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i> Read the full paper<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mohammad Belayet Hossain Lecturer, School of Law, Chittagong Independent University of Bangladesh Abstract \u2018Globacolisation\u2019 is a concept that derives from \u2018globalisation\u2019 and \u2018colonisation\u2019.
