The free movement of goods, services and people thanks to globalization had resulted in unprecedented socio-economic development in countries. In addition to international commercial operations, the Foreign Direct Investment flow has been key in creating jobs and improving human capital. However, it is no less true that this process has also had negative externalities. In this last decade, a paradigm move has been observed in the States and their way of interacting with their partners in face of such consequences, which has also permeated the field of foreign investment. Challenged with new legislative and conventional solutions that limit the type of Foreign Direct Investment and even its free circulation, justified by reasons of national security, care for the environment or collective health, this article responses the question about whether or not we are in the presence of an initial phase of "deglobalization" process in this field.
