        Globalization and sustainable development are of most important economic issues of any country that will not be successfully handled without adequate foreign exchange supply and improvement of domestic production (especially in advantageous industries). Food industries are one of significant advantageous industries of Iran and enjoy many production advantageous including plenty of economical raw materials, excess and trained human resources, etc. the main question of the current research investigates the positive and negative consequences of Iran’s joining to WTO on domestic food industries (Azarbayjan Sharghi as the sample). All of active companies in food production and export in the province of Azarbayjan Sharghi with 50 or more employees have been chosen as the statistical sample. Using questionnaires, the information is gathered from the highest person in charge for marketing, financial, administrative and supervisory functions. The results suggest that the Iran’s join to WTO will lead to bankruptcy of traditional and small food producers in short and medium time due to competitive incompetencies in sales price, quality, etc. However, regarding potentials of the country (Azarbayjan Sharghi, in specific) in food industries, if mechanized production systems are employed and word-level quality, packaging and standards be considered, the domestic industry can compete internationally.

        The domain of investment law and environmental law is similar. In fact, if there is not environment and its components insist of air, soil and water there will not be any investment, production, accumulation of capital and consumption. Therefore, everyone with every role should act in the process of maintaining and upbringing the environment, in which the role of the prominent investors is highlighted. Today, it has been specified by all countries that their entry into the competitive international trade market and the promotion of the welfare of society and security in all its dimensions require the attraction of foreign investment.Many countries that want to attract more and more capital into their country are adopting laws which encourages investors to be present in that country, on the other hand, will end the environment in the long run. Transnational corporations also tend to invest in country that are more environmentally easier. In the meantime, it should be seen with a prospect that the only major inflow of capital would not be generating public benefit but the presence of capital with proper and management consumption and the protection of the environment, which fulfills national and global interests.The question of present research is how can besides governments and international organizations, be considered internationally responsibility such as foreign investors in the event of environmental degradation. It is assumed that in the event of environmental degradation, even the consent country investable would be an international liability to investor.  Manuscript profile

        The present study, using the data of 22 countries in the period from 2011 to 2021, examined the approach of multilateral and regional investment treaties and its effect on foreign investment through an Gravity model. It also assesses the interaction between bilateral investment treaties and host country institutions and how this relationship differs between developed-developing partners and developing-developing partners. The results showed: a) The effect of control variables of large market and common language in all models is positive and significant, but the effect of distance variable is negative and significant. The population variables of the host country and the neighborhood, except for the pair of developing countries, are not significant determinants for the flow of foreign direct investment. Bilateral investment treaties are positive and significant in all models, but between developing countries, they have a greater impact on foreign direct investment. b) By adding the variables of institutional quality, the colonial relationship and the dummy variable free trade agreement, to the model, by Conclusion a bilateral investment treaty, the host country provides foreign investors with a foreign institutional framework that reliably commits to protect their investment better than domestic institutions can. In this case, they are substitutes and a negative relationship is expected. Manuscript profile

        The aim of the present research is to examine the obstacles existing in Iran's laws for accepting commitments to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the results indicate that Iran's problems in joining the WTO stem from both internal and external factors. Apart from the current problems and instabilities prevailing in Iran's economy, some domestic laws also fail to align with WTO regulations. For instance, Article 44 of the Constitution, which enforces state ownership and monopolies in significant sectors such as industries, mines, banking, radio and television, shipping, aviation, etc., underscores the overbearing presence of government and semi-government entities in the economy, while relegating the private sector to a marginalized role in economic activities. Furthermore, due to the absence of a single exchange rate, regulations related to foreign insurances, insufficient support for foreign investment in Iran and high import tariffs, some other domestic laws not only fail to conform to WTO regulations but also contradict them significantly. In Iran, due to access to foreign currency resources derived from oil exports, the foreign trade sector has not developed properly and proportionately to the needs, resulting in various problems. The emergence of these issues and the potential decrease in oil export revenues in the future underscore the significance of the foreign trade sector and its presence in global markets. Therefore, increasing production, enhancing export capabilities and competitiveness on a global scale, and benefiting from the facilities of the WTO are raised as necessities. Manuscript profile

        Foreign investment due to lack of domestic financial resources or its inefficiency in developing countries is the engine of economic and social development of these societies, including Iran. In the early 21st century, the economic situation in Iran has made it necessary to attract foreign financial resources. The main question of this research is to study the effects of the nuclear agreement on the inflow of foreign investment in Iran. The nuclear deal aroused the interest of capitalists and foreign companies in Iran. It provided psychological grounds for investing in Iran, especially in the oil and automobile industries. However, due to structural challenges, especially the shaky US approach, the independence of capitalists in the world from governments, and internal problems such as the non-acceptance of FATF and domestic law in Iran, this investment failed in practice Manuscript profile

        Globalization is a process which has taken place in the past decade and the world community is moving in that direction. This process is taking place in social، political، cultural and technological arena particularly it is expanding in the field of economy. Many thinkers believe that the first move for globalization started in nineteen century. There was considerable increase in the volume of trade during 1870 till 1914 and some called this period the "golden period of economic integration" but later development slowed down this process. These developments were opposition to free trade by national producers، First World War، the Great Recession of 1929-1934 and the tendency of the governments to have independent economic policies. The main aspect of globalization of economy is the process of integration and dependence in different countries. It is in this framework that the North-South relations are discussed. Two important factors of globalization which have direct relations with each other are world target market and the problem of nation-states. The international competition transcends the national boundaries and they become like glass walls which one can see through them. In other words the advances in information technology and communication lead to integration and similarity of pattern of behavior، consumption، way of life and culture among the people of the world. Globalization also includes and affects the relations among political، economic and social units and wide range of interaction among them. Thus the process of globalization of economy has directed the orientation of national economies towards world economy and the activities which were formulated within national framework now are decided on world basis according to need of world markets. It is in this process that the future and the fate of the North and the South countries are tied together. The present article in the light of theoretical framework of globalization and with emphasis on globalization of political economy identifies the opportunities، the deterrent factors and the threats to the growth and development of the world. A world which is called the North-South. Manuscript profile

        Foreign investment is one of the most important ways of transferring liquidity and technology from developed countries to developing countries, which has been the focus of many statesmen and policymakers in recent decades. One of the most important measures in order to optimally support the foreign investment process is to foresee appropriate legal mechanisms and especially arbitration in order to resolve disputes and lawsuits arising from it. Considering the perpetration of acts and procedures that disrupt foreign investment in every country as an undeniable fact, in this research, with a descriptive-analytical method, the feasibility of implementing the arbitration mechanism for the settlement of claims resulting from acts that disrupt foreign investment Been paid. The findings indicate that there are serious obstacles in Iran's current legal system regarding the referral of claims resulting from double taxation and the occurrence of economic corruption (in the form of violations) as the most important examples of acts that disrupt foreign investment. , 125 and 139 of the Constitution is one of the most important of them. The current situation requires that, if possible, reinterpretation of the above-mentioned principles should be carried out according to the current conditions and the upcoming needs on the part of the relevant interpretive institutions.

Considering the vagueness of each of the above three terms and the lack of a clear definition of them on the one hand, as well as providing a precise framework on the other hand, the current practice of international arbitration authorities considers case study to be the best tool in resolving disputes arising from foreign investment expropriation claims. Our attempt in this research will be to examine each of these conditions in the domestic legal system, international documents, and especially the perception of each of them by arbitration authorities.

        ۱۰۵۴/۵۰۰۰ Given the special situation that the Islamic Republic has faced since its inception and the various economic sanctions imposed in this period, various measures have been taken to respond to the rules on investment and capital attraction. Among these measures, the economy of resistance is in the executive order of the executive governments. But this plan has not only been restored to its place, but misunderstandings in this field have put their aim in another direction. On the other hand, economic diplomacy, which is now undergoing political diplomacy, is trying to create an environment suitable for attracting foreign investors and capital. Perhaps the preferential agreements are uncontested and the nature of economic diplomacy, but with the components of the resistance economy as well as the expansion of regional trade exchanges, on the one hand, and the approval of investment facilitation regulations, positive results can be drawn. It was achieved in this field. However, this paper seeks to explain and analyze the feasibility of the components of a resilient economy, with economic diplomacy to dominate regional trade and the gradual liberalization of the country's economy along with comprehensive regulations.
