Resumo: | My research provides a comprehensive analysis of how the influence of China's economic emergence has reshaped the definition of SOEs in regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. This inquiry unfolds through a meticulous examination of how the legal concept of SOE in regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements involving the USA, the EU, and Japan undergo adaptation and reform in response to China's impact, resonating with their repercussions on third countries. I argue that China has instigated a paradigm shift in the global regulatory landscape on SOEs, compelling the USA, the EU, and Japan to embrace a novel regulatory pattern. Their response takes the form of structural revisions to the legal definition of SOEs embedded within regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. My key contribution is to indicate how their response takes the form of structural revisions to the legal definition of SOEs embedded within regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. I point out a progressive convergence between the USA, the EU and Japan towards the use of the legal framework of ownership and control to legally define SOEs in regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. The convergence has caused the spread of the ownership and control framework as a new international regulatory pattern to the definition of SOE. The USA, the EU and Japan have been employing the framework in agreements with a range of economies from both the Global North and South. Despite China's economic clout driving the current international push for SOE regulation, the emerging framework fails to account for the diverse contexts and objectives of developing nations. This raises serious concerns about the potential inequities and inefficiencies of applying a China-centric framework to the Global South. A second important contribution of my research is thus to highlight that the spread of the ownership and control framework has the potential to curb legitimate development policies in the Global South. I assert that economic development tools utilized by SOEs are increasingly encountering legal obstacles stemming from international rules aimed at restraining state intervention and direction within domestic settings. Such implications come at a time of reevaluation the State’s role in domestic economies. The framework of ownership and control has been introduced as a legal tool designed to make the regulation upon SOEs more rigid and restrict. However, more recent domestic policies by the USA, the EU and Japan point to increased State intervention in the economy. I thus assert that China's influence extends beyond its active policies and practices. The USA, the EU, and Japan are reshaping the overall framework governing the legal concept SOEs in response to China. Regulatory clauses devised to address China's challenges have been implemented in diverse contexts, impacting countries with much diverse domestic institutions. |

Investigo como o conceito jurídico de empresa estatal em acordos regionais e bilaterais dos EUA, da União Europeia e do Japão passa por adaptações e reformas em resposta ao impacto da China na ordem econômica internacional e repercute em países do Sul Global. Argumento que a China instigou uma mudança paradigmática na regulação internacional sobre empresas estatais, compelindo os EUA, a União Europeia e o Japão a adotarem um novo padrão regulatório. Tais agentes formularam revisões estruturais na definição legal de empresa estatal incorporada em seus acordos regionais e bilaterais. Identifico uma progressiva falta de diversidade entre o framework regulatorio empregado pelos EUA, pela União Europeia e pelo Japão. Essas grandes economias convergem para o uso do framework legal baseado em critérios de propriedade e controle estatal para definir empresa estatal em acordos regionais e bilaterais. Argumento que essa convergência causou a disseminação do framework de propriedade e controle como um novo padrão regulatório internacional para a definição de empresa estatal. A principal contribuição da minha pesquisa é a identificação da emergência, portanto, de um novo padrão regulatório global. Os EUA, a União Europeia e o Japão têm empregado o framework em acordos com uma variedade de economias tanto do Norte quanto do Sul Global. Demonstro que a difusão do novo padrão regulatório global de definição de empresas estatais possui impactos efetivos em políticas domésticas de desenvolvimento econômico. Identifico risco de inviabilização da emulação de casos de sucesso de desenvolvimento econômico e mesmo da manutenção de políticas tradicionais de estímulo à indústria nacional e ao mercado consumidor. Os impactos nas políticas domésticas têm por base, ainda, uma contradição entre o discurso internacional sobre empresas estatais e seus efeitos sobre o mercado internacional e, por outro lado, as políticas domésticas mais recentes dos EUA, da União Europeia e do Japão. A tensão geoeconômica com a China responde pela tentativa de redução da influência de empresas estatais na economia internacional, ao mesmo em que sustenta o redirecionamento do papel do Estado em suas economias domésticas. Portanto, concluo que a influência da China se estende além de suas políticas e práticas ativas na esfera internacional. Os EUA, a União Europeia e o remodelaram o arcabouço legal que governa o conceito de empresa estatal em resposta à China. Cláusulas regulatórias elaboradas para enfrentar os desafios da China foram implementadas em contextos diversos, impactando países com instituições domésticas muito diversas.engState-owned

My research provides a comprehensive analysis of how the influence of China's economic emergence has reshaped the definition of SOEs in regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. This inquiry unfolds through a meticulous examination of how the legal concept of SOE in regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements involving the USA, the EU, and Japan undergo adaptation and reform in response to China's impact, resonating with their repercussions on third countries. I argue that China has instigated a paradigm shift in the global regulatory landscape on SOEs, compelling the USA, the EU, and Japan to embrace a novel regulatory pattern. Their response takes the form of structural revisions to the legal definition of SOEs embedded within regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. My key contribution is to indicate how their response takes the form of structural revisions to the legal definition of SOEs embedded within regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. I point out a progressive convergence between the USA, the EU and Japan towards the use of the legal framework of ownership and control to legally define SOEs in regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements. The convergence has caused the spread of the ownership and control framework as a new international regulatory pattern to the definition of SOE. The USA, the EU and Japan have been employing the framework in agreements with a range of economies from both the Global North and South. Despite China's economic clout driving the current international push for SOE regulation, the emerging framework fails to account for the diverse contexts and objectives of developing nations. This raises serious concerns about the potential inequities and inefficiencies of applying a China-centric framework to the Global South. A second important contribution of my research is thus to highlight that the spread of the ownership and control framework has the potential to curb legitimate development policies in the Global South. I assert that economic development tools utilized by SOEs are increasingly encountering legal obstacles stemming from international rules aimed at restraining state intervention and direction within domestic settings. Such implications come at a time of reevaluation the State’s role in domestic economies. The framework of ownership and control has been introduced as a legal tool designed to make the regulation upon SOEs more rigid and restrict. However, more recent domestic policies by the USA, the EU and Japan point to increased State intervention in the economy. I thus assert that China's influence extends beyond its active policies and practices. The USA, the EU, and Japan are reshaping the overall framework governing the legal concept SOEs in response to China. Regulatory clauses devised to address China's challenges have been implemented in diverse contexts, impacting countries with much diverse domestic institutions. |
