Summary "The creation of rules by governments in international trade and investment agreements are heavily swayed by the interests 'elite' economic actors, such as "multinational corporations, industry associations, banks, hedge funds, and billionaires who can effectively influence the negotiating position of the most powerful governments." These alliances often generate business practices and policy preferences which disadvantage Indigenous and other economically marginalized people. International investment and its investor state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism has had a "differentiated and disproportional negative impact...on women as well as on Indigenous peoples, particularly in relation to resource extraction in or near Indigenous peoples' territories.""-- Provided by publisher
