THE CHANGING NATURE OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT ARBITRATION

Sustaining Economic Expansion
Panel Session

Recent investment arbitration disputes have prompted critics to point out shortcomings in the process, including lack of transparency, high costs, and a tendency to needlessly politicize proceedings. While arbitration remains a popular means of resolving disputes, are the traditional mechanisms outdated and in need of reform? What changes could be put in place to improve dispute settlement? How might disputes be regulated within the TPP and TTIP?
