Abstract

The article aims to recognize the existence of a new international investment paradigm. This paradigm, which started in the XXI century, results from the repositioning of emerging countries. The work is structured in two parts. First, it highlighted the recognition of a specific group of emerging countries, which have economic, political, legal importance and in the international relations. This group corresponds to the eleven countries in the Financial G20, which qualify as the G11. In a second moment, it analysed the recognition of a new paradigm of international investments, guided by more balanced bilateral agreements, at the bilateral level, new comprehensive regional agreements, involving themes of trade liberalization and investment, and, primarily, by the leadership of the emerging economies in the Financial G20 and WTO Ministerial Conferences on facilitating and promoting investment. Such changes in the paradigm have repercussions on the International Investment Law, by incorporating the need for a contemporary debate for a reform of its institutes in order to meet the greater repositioning of emerging economies in the international system.
