Investment Arbitration’s Tightrope: Ethics, Power and Responsibility

This book examines the role of arbitrators vis-à-vis the systemic inequities of investment law, advocating for the reform of its treaty framework, which currently binds arbitrators to apply rules that disproportionately safeguard foreign investors and overlook the impact of arbitral decisions on host states’ economic and regulatory frameworks.
