by
Louis T. Wells Jr. and Courtenay Sprague

Abstract
Presents seven examples (i.e., incidents) of conflict concerning foreign direct investment. The incidents lay the framework for discussion of issues such as the jurisdiction of the WTO and the U.S. position, the Helms-Burton Act of 1996 and its political implications, and campaign contributions from foreign corporations backing U.S. Democrats--and the controversy therein.
