In Contractual Renegotiations and International Investment Arbitration, Aikaterini Florou explores the complex phenomenon of the renegotiation of investor-state contracts. The author reconstructs the relationship between those contracts and the overarching investment treaties using an original interpretative methodology based on transaction cost economics and relational contract theory.
The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) – as the ‘treaty on treaties’ – has achieved a rich and nuanced track record of use in international law. It has now been over fifty years since the VCLT was opened for signature in 1969, and over forty years since it entered into force in 1980. As of 2022, the VCLT has been ratified by 116 States and signed by 45 others, with some non-ratifying States also recognising parts as reflective of customary international law. In the intervening decades, the VCLT has had a profound influence on the interpretation, application and development of international investment law, including in the context of investment treaty arbitration. This bo...
This book reviews for the first time some of the less frequently addressed actors in international investment law. Traditional studies concerning actors in international investment law have tended to focus on arbitrators, claimant investors and respondent states. This book explores transnational actors, such as UNCITRAL, the EU, international standardizing bodies, domestic and international courts and tribunals, etc., shedding light on their transnational activity and pluralistic role in international investment law.
This book shows the complexity of the energy-environment nexus under international economic law, existing gaps and further actions for improvement.
This unique book brings together leading experts from diverse areas of public international law to offer a comprehensive overview of the approaches to evolutionary interpretation in different international legal regimes. It begins by asking what interpretation is, offering the views of expert authors on the question, its components and definitions. It then comments on situations that have called for evolutionary interpretation in different international legal regimes, including general international law, environmental law, human rights law, EU law, investment law, international trade law, and how domestic courts have, on occasions, interpreted treaties and other international legal instruments in an evolutionary manner. This timely, authoritative compendium offers an in-depth understanding of the processes at work in evolutionary interpretation as well as a prime selection of the current trends and future challenges.
The number of severe and sometimes catastrophic disruptive events has been rapidly increasing. Extreme weather events including floods, wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters have become both more frequent and more severe, whilst events such as the COVID-19 pandemic represent a global threat to public health with huge economic effects that recovery packages tried to address. These disruptive events, alone and in combination, have dramatic consequences on nature, human life, and the economy, calling for urgent action to mitigate their causes and adapt to their impacts. In response to discourses of collapsology and end-of-growth theories, this monograph offers an analytical approac...

É tormentoso que uma parte possa não conseguir demonstrar seu direito porque não consegue acessar uma prova que seu oponente retém injustificadamente. Na arbitragem, é especialmente desafiador encontrar uma solução para essa situação, dada a limitação dos poderes dos árbitros na imposição de suas decisões. Soma-se a isso o ambiente propício à convivência de atores com experiência em sistemas processuais diferentes e à confluência de normas com diferentes graus de imperatividade em um cenário de tradicional pouca regulação. A partir disso, este livro analisa, à luz da lei brasileira, a técnica de estabelecimento de uma conclusão negativa pelo julgador a partir da recusa da parte em produzir uma prova sob seu controle, isto é, a técnica de extração de inferências adversas pelos árbitros. Espera-se contribuir para o debate sobre o tema e incentivar a aplicação dessa relevante ferramenta com preservação das garantias fundamentais do processo e ganho de previsibilidade para os envolvidos no processo arbitral.
