As the regime presented a pro-developed country bias, developing countries, especially in Latin America, avoided signing investment treaties up to the 1980s. Brazil followed this trend and did not start an investment treaty program until the late 1990s. However, the treaties never entered into force. The country also avoided acceding to the World Bank agency responsible for investment arbitration proceedings - the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). In 2015, Brazil started a new investment treaty program. However, the timing seems counterintuitive. The investment treaty regime had already been criticized, including inefficiency in attracting foreign investment, the potential to encroach on countries’ regulatory sovereignty and the lack of legitimacy of its investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) procedure. Furthermore, the favorable foreign economic scenario did not force the country to seek an inflow of foreign capital at that time. The new Cooperation and Facilitation Investment Agreement (CFIA) is presented as an investment treaty model for developing countries, since it responds to major criticisms to the investment treaty regime, and at the same time meets the demands of an important domestic interest group, the Brazilian industrial sector, for a legal framework that mitigates the political risk of its increasingly internationalized operations. Brazil’s CFIA may be viewed as a model that other developing countries could emulate in the face of the failure of the traditional paradigm of investment dispute settlement.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Международный режим инвестиционных договоров, в отличие от других экономических режимов, не предполагает общих многосторонних материально-правовых норм и зависит от стран, подписывающих двусторонние или плюрилатеральные инвестиционные договоры. Поскольку режим предоставлял несправедливые преимущества развитым странам, многие развивающиеся страны, особенно в Латинской Америке, избегали подписания инвестиционных договоров вплоть до начала 1980-х гг. Бразилия следовала заданному тренду, инициировав собственную программу инвестиционных договоров только в конце 1990-х гг. Однако договоры так и не вступили в силу. Бразилия также не присоединилась к Международному центру по урегулированию инвестиционных споров (МЦУИС), агентству Всемирного банка, ответственному за проведение арбитражных процедур в международных инвестиционных спорах. В 2015 г. Бразилия запустила новую программу инвестиционных договоров. Однако выбор времени для подобного решения не совсем логичный. Международный режим инвестиционных договоров уже подвергался критике по причине неэффективности в привлечении иностранных инвестиций, возможности нарушения государственного суверенитета и недостатка легитимности процедуры разрешения споров между инвесторами и государством. Кроме того, в тот период у Бразилии не было необходимости в привлечении иностранных инвестиций ввиду благоприятных внешних условий. Новые соглашения о сотрудничестве и содействии инвестициям представляются как модель инвестиционного договора, которая учитывает все недостатки международного режима, а также реагирует на запросы важной внутренней группы давления - бразильского промышленного класса - о создании правовых рамок для минимизации политических рисков их деятельности, степень интернационализации которой увеличивается. Бразильская модель соглашения о поощрении и взаимной защите капиталовложений может быть заимствована другими развивающимися странами в условиях кризиса традиционной парадигмы разрешения инвестиционных споров.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cooperation and facilitation investment agreements</kwd><kwd>Brazil</kwd><kwd>Investment Treaty Regime</kwd><kwd>foreign direct investment</kwd><kwd>investor-state dispute settlement</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>соглашения о поощрении и взаимной защите капиталовложений</kwd><kwd>Бразилия</kwd><kwd>режим инвестиционных договоров</kwd><kwd>прямые иностранные инвестиции</kwd><kwd>урегулирование споров между инвесторами и государством</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior — Brasil (CAPES) — Finance Code 001 and the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (Chamada MCTIC/CNPq No. 28/2018).</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Данное исследование частично финансировалось Агентством по координации совершенствования кадров системы высшего образования — Бразилия (CAPES) — Финансовый кодекс 001 и Бразильским национальным советом по научно-техническому развитию (приказ MCTIC/CNPq № 28/2018).</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Ahmad, F., Draz, M.
