Spanish Abstract: La libre circulacion de inversiones es uno de los mantras que ha caracterizado la modernidad economica. El principio, sin embargo, se encuentra sometido a creciente prevencion, en el marco de una vision critica hacia la globalizacion en un mundo en pleno reajuste geoestrategico. Una de las manifestaciones de esta tendencia reciente de empoderamiento del Estado se refleja en la articulacion de mecanismos de control de las inversiones foraneas que le permitan evitar que sectores claves de la economia nacional caigan en manos de inversores extranjeros, en muchas ocasiones, controlados por Estados competidores. A diferencia de lo que ocurre con los paises de nuestro entorno, Espana habia sido inmune hasta el momento a esta tendencia, pero todo ha cambiado con la crisis del COVID-19. English Abstract: The free movement of investment is one of the mantras that has characterized economic modernity. Nevertheless, the principle is under increasing criticism in the framework of a world under a geostrategic readjustment. States are interested in preventing certain strategic assets and critical infrastructures to be controlled by foreign investors, in many cases, owned or controlled by foreign States. And this goal fosters the designation of national screening systems of evaluation of foreign investment on national security grounds. Unlike other western countries, Spain had been so far reluctant to this trend, but things have now changed deeply because of the COVID-19 crisis.
