dc.description.abstractThe European Union has joined other jurisdictions in contemplating whether to screen outbound investment to ensure its “economic security”. However, unlike in the United States and elsewhere, policymakers in Europe seem more hesitant to develop the novel restrictive investment instrument. Instead of screening mechanisms, the EU speaks only of monitoring systems to collect more data. This policy review situates the initial policy steps taken by the European Commission and EU member states within the larger trend of scrutinizing outbound investment internationally. It highlights the strong opposition of European businesses to the introduction of a new instrument and the role that businesses may have played in shaping the more hesitant approach. Lastly, the review reflects on the legal implications and future research agenda, highlighting the lack of data on outbound investment as one of the key challenges for researchers and policymakers alike.
