Resources

The research group benefits from a wide range of resources that enable in-depth analysis of investment law and contractual frameworks. Among the most essential are international legal databases such as LexisNexis, Westlaw, and JSTOR, which provide extensive collections of case law, statutes, scholarly articles, and comparative studies. These platforms allow researchers to explore global perspectives on investment law, dispute resolution, and contractual governance.

At the national level, Jordanian legislation forms the foundation of much of the group's work. Core resources include the Jordanian Constitution, investment-related laws, administrative judiciary legislation, and regulations governing public–private partnerships and foreign direct investment. Judicial decisions and case law from Jordanian courts provide practical insights into how investment contracts are interpreted and enforced within the national legal framework.

From an international and comparative perspective, access to treaties, bilateral investment agreements (BITs), conventions, and international arbitration rules enables the group to examine how global legal standards influence local investment practices. Reports and policy papers on investment climate reforms further enrich this analysis, highlighting challenges and opportunities in harmonizing national and international legal systems.

The group also relies on policy analysis and institutional reports issued by organizations such as the World Bank, UNCTAD, Transparency International, and Jordan's official agencies, which provide critical evaluations of governance, accountability, and the business environment.

In addition, the research team draws on academic books, monographs, and comparative law studies that discuss evolving concepts in investment protection, corporate governance, and sustainable finance. Participation in conferences, workshops, and expert panels ensures that members remain updated on recent trends, such as digital investments, smart contracts, and green financing.

Empirical methods also play a key role. Interviews with legal practitioners, policymakers, arbitrators, and investors, along with surveys from public institutions and private sector actors, provide real-world insights into the effectiveness of existing investment frameworks.

Finally, government white papers, reform proposals, and legislative reviews strengthen the group's ability to evaluate ongoing legal transformations in Jordan. Collectively, these resources create a robust foundation for producing high-quality, impactful research on the legal dimensions of investment contracts at both the national and international levels.​
