Abstract

The law of foreign investment is at a crossroad, in the wake of a dramatic surge of investment treaty arbitration cases (Chart 20.1) and an unprecedented global financial crisis leading to sharp decrease in global investment flows (Chart 20.2). Scholars and government officials from both developed and developing worlds have been debating whether and to what extent the previously neo-liberalist approach represented by liberal BITs should be reformed to fit the new reality of the current world.
