Features: The Western Development is a systematic project and macro strategy proposed by the Party and the State at the turn of the century, with the fundamental goal of achieving comprehensive economic, social, and cultural development in the western region. The sustained and rapid economic development of the western region is a crucial link in achieving this objective. Economic theory and international experience in regional development tell us that investment plays a relatively significant role in driving regional economic growth. Particularly for the development of underdeveloped areas, the role of investment is even more pronounced. During the process of Western Development, the role of investment should be given particular attention. Investors will thoroughly evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the investment environment, and a sound investment environment undoubtedly has strong appeal to investors. Experience shows that in the current round of "investment attraction" competition in the western region, the investment legal environment, as an important component of the investment environment, is highly valued by investors. A sound and fair legal (system) clarifies the rights and obligations of investors, providing better protection for their interests and enabling them to form reasonable expectations, thereby strengthening their investment confidence. We believe that the issue of the Western Investment Legal Environment is not merely limited to the legislation related to investment, its implementation, and judicial application. As a systematic project, it should also more broadly focus on the legal improvement of other subsystems related to investment and the protection of investment interests, such as the legal protection of talent resources and the construction of a legal service environment. These are all important components of the investment legal environment. The legal improvement of these subsystems plays a crucial role in attracting investors, protecting investors, and establishing a sound investment legal environment. This book also studies the issue of the Western Investment Legal Environment in this sense.
