In this assignment, you need to analyze the legal environment of the country for which you signed up in the
beginning of the semester (please pay particular attention to this guideline; you cannot receive credit for this
assignment if you use a different country for your analysis). In your paper, make sure you:

1. Describe the legal environment of the country, making specific references to

• the rule of law (to what extent is the country governed by law as opposed to arbitrary decisions of individual
  government officials)
  and
• laws that govern foreign direct investment (for example, are there provisions to attract foreign direct
  investment, such as tax incentives, most-favored-nation treatment, dispute resolution fora; or provisions that
  restrict foreign direct investors such as high local content requirements or currency exchange restrictions).

1. Discuss challenges and opportunities for American investors posed by the legal environment.
2. Based on the challenges and opportunities you have identified through your research, formulate two
   recommendations, with your supporting arguments, to an American investor to successfully navigate the
   country’s legal environment.
