This volume focuses on one of the most innovative deep integration constructs, The Pacific Alliance, which aims at expanding the frontiers of trade and investment governance in Latin America. It draws on a conference held at Externado University in Bogota, Colombia, in November 2015, bringing together leading scholars, practitioners and officers of public, regional and international organisations interested in a critical analysis of the Alliance, its distinctiveness and likely future directions. The volume features contributions from the multi-disciplinary lens of law, political science and economics. The Pacific Alliance, comprising Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, aims through a participa...
Caroline Henckels examines how investment tribunals should balance competing state and investor interests in determining state liability in regulatory disputes.
Based on analysis of 21 arbitral awards rendered in the "Spanish saga" cases, this book discusses the current challenges faced by international investment law in the renewable energy sector. Filip Balcerzak offers both micro-level analysis of each individual case and macro-level conclusions of universal relevance.
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...
The Award in International Investment Arbitration is a comprehensive study of the international investment award, which serves as a unique reference work and an authoritative one-stop resource on the topic for both practitioners and academics. The book reviews the award in a holistic manner: from award drafting to the procedural principles that govern it; from arbitral deliberations and tribunal dynamics to post-award challenges; from the role of gender in decision-making to the impact of tribunal secretaries. It puts emphasis on the practitioners needs with a careful selection of hands-on topics, such as fact-finding in complex disputes, the role of experts, and legal reasoning and persuasi...
Una de las áreas del derecho internacional que ha contado con mayor desarrollo en los últimos 30 años ha sido el derecho de las inversiones. En este lapso de tiempo se han publicado cientos de trabajos académicos sobre la materia en inglés y español, pero en este último idioma aún no había un libro que condensara los fundamentos de forma completa. Este libro trata de llenar ese vacío y presenta el desarrollo actual de las normas y principios del derecho internacional de inversiones, las problemáticas que de allí se derivan y que son cada vez más relevantes para los países en el ámbito del derecho internacional. En este trabajo presentamos los debates, no solo desde lo teórico y abstracto, sino los efectos que tienen sobre los países algunas de sus conductas. A pesar de considerarse un tema desconocido para la mayoría, desde principio del siglo XXI adquirió cierta notoriedad y llamó la atención entre los profesionales, académicos y estudiantes.

Regionalism is under stress. The European Union has been challenged by the Eurozone crisis, refugee flows, terrorist attacks, Euroscepticism, and Brexit. In Latin America, regional cooperation has been stagnating. Studying Europe and Latin America within a broader comparative perspective, this volume provides an analytical framework to assess stress factors facing regionalism. The contributors explore how economic and financial crises, security challenges, identity questions raised by immigration and refugee flows, the rise of populism, and shifting regional and global power dynamics have had an impact on regionalism; whether the EU crisis has had repercussions for regionalisms in other part...
