Particularmente, al distinguir entre una aproximación promocional y una regulatoria, pretende analizar cómo la actuación de la OCDE cumple con la necesidad de ponderar los derechos económicos de los inversores privados con los intereses públicos del Estado anfitrión. Particularmente, al tiempo que muestra cómo los intentos anteriores de la OCDE de elaborar un Acuerdo Multilateral sobre Inversión se preocupaban principalmente de la promoción de sectores económicos estratégicos de países desarrollados, descubre que las Directrices para Empresas Multinacionales también toman en consideración la protección de numerosos “bienes públicos”. Sin embargo, el vacío que subsiste en la regulación de inversiones internacionales puede ser cubierto por estas Directrices sólo a través de su incorporación en instrumentos jurídicos vinculantes.Universidad Bernardo O'Higgins2013text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4338470(Revista) ISSN 0718-2457(Revista) ISSN 0719-2568Ars Boni et Aequi, ISSN 0719-2568, Vol. 9, Nº. 1, 2013, pags. 9-22engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
