		<description><![CDATA[In the "flat" world that New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has portrayed, business efficiency leads to competitiveness and national borders become less and less meaningful.

In a flat world, investors, entrepreneurs, and businesses need a reliable legal system to enforce contracts efficiently and minimize unforeseen or unforeseeable outcomes. Most legal systems fall somewhat short of this ideal, but some lead the pack, some are modernizing, and some don't make the grade.

Colombia has taken many steps toward modernization. For example, legal stability contracts (contratos de estabilidad juridica) are available to insure against adverse changes in laws and regulations upon which investment decisions are based.

Efficient commercial and investment transactions also require robust support for international arbitration of disputes. Colombia has modernized its laws concerning foreign arbitration relating to business and investments between Colombian firms and those of other countries.

The Colombian legal system rates only a 2 on a scale of 4 according to the Latin America Venture Capital Association (LAVCA) 2008 Scorecard. The LAVCA scorecard rates Colombia 1 on a scale of 4 for perceived corruption, stating that although the judiciary is highly regarded, its lower levels and those of the civil service are susceptible to corruption and intimidation. The World Bank's Control of Corruption Indicator paints about the same picture.

The same 2008 Scorecard, however, says foreign arbitration is "broadly permitted" (though there is "no relevant experience with international arbitration in private equity investments," according to LAVCA).
