Since 1990s, developing countries have tried to attract more foreign direct investment (FDI) to overcome a shortage of domestic capital stock and investment by providing various incentives.

The negotiations at the OECD were suspended in 1998 and the WTO did not move beyond TRIMS, the Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures that is limited, to the subset of trade-related investments. The study traces the history of International Investment Agreements, along with their features, advantages and disadvantages. The paper takes at the chronology of the events which led to the failure of MAI. The analysis concludes with the road ahead for multilateral agreements on inve
