Resumen

La protección de la propiedad en contra de medidas de expropiación directa ha existido en el ámbito internacional, ejemplos de expropiación directa incluyen nacionalización, apropiación física de activos y la transferencia forzada de bienes. En la actualidad la práctica de la expropiación directa dejó de ser común, la expropiación se presenta bajo la forma de "expropiación indirecta": medidas adoptadas por un gobierno que interfieren con el derecho de propiedad o el valor de la misma. El presente escrito explora los antecedentes más relevantes del concepto de expropiación indirecta, su aparición en el sistema internacional, su inclusión en Acuerdos Bilaterales de Protección y Promoción de la Inversión Extranjera y en tratados de Libre Comercio, y los efectos que ha tenido el concepto en la actividad reguladora de gobiernos.
