It is also true that foreign direct investment in developing countries or less developed countries will not only generate a lot of profit for investor, but also benefit the developing states or less developed countries themselves. In addition, the processes of economic growth of developing countries and their inclusion in the international economic system are important to the future of the interdependent globalmarketplace. But investment in developing states can pose a political risk to investor, especially in countries with political instability such as Vietnam, Myanmar Cambodia and so. Therefore, obtaining political risk insurance is often the critical factor for a domestic enterprise or a private investor to decide whether or not to go forward with a foreign direct investment project.
However, the political risk insurance policy and the use of political risk to encourage private investment in foreign countries seem so deficient and underdeveloped in Taiwan. In order to protect, secure and promote foreign investments against political risks, such as expropriation, political violence, inconvertibility and so, it is inevitable for us to rebuild and perfect foreign direct investment policy and legal system related to political risks. Therefore, the main purpose of this thesis is to introduce the background and content of political risk insurance program provided by the United States backed Oversea Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the first and leading political risk insurance provider in the international community, and examine the advantages and disadvantage of OPIC, by doing so, to provide a useful direction for Taiwan to establish effective and perfect political insurance policy to minimize political risk and making foreign investment in countries with political uncertainty feasible. .
