Alternative dispute settlement regarding investment in some Asia Pacific countries

Abstract

Every regional government effort in economics aims to provide welfare to the people, as well as investment opportunities in a legal attractive environment. Hence, the business disputes become significant factors in regional investment, notably in Asia Pacific region that is now experiencing rapid economic growth. The question, however, is whether there is access for legal and trusted settlements for business disputes. This study uses the qualitative method mostly used for legal issues on selected countries in the Asia Pacific region. The results show that regional governments’ capability to formulate policies related to dispute settlement in investments and to improve the quality of legal issues of business dispute settlements, in and outside the court is expected to have a significant role leading to a considerable increase in the investment level.
