The legitimacy crisis of investor-state arbitration and the new EU investment court system
In response to the ongoing legitimacy crisis of investor-state arbitration, the European Union (EU) developed a new model of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) that replaces international arbitration with a system of bilateral investment courts. In this article, we draw on literature on the role of legitimacy in driving institutional change in international institutions to explain the rise of the new EU model. We further examine the extent …
Athenian Economy and Society
In this ground-breaking analysis of the world's first private banks, Edward Cohen convincingly demonstrates the existence and functioning of a market economy in ancient Athens while revising our understanding of the society itself. Challenging the "primitivistic" view, in which bankers are merely pawnbrokers and money-changers, Cohen reveals that fourth-century Athenian bankers pursued sophisticated transactions. These dealings--although technolo…
Constructing power through law
In this paper, I explore two central characteristics of the mobilization of law in the global political economy – the role of legal pluralism and the importance of legal expertise. The interaction of these two factors goes a long way towards explaining the ways in which legal norms, actors, and institutions have been enrolled to construct and organize powerful actors in the global economy. In order to explore these dynamics, the article focuses o…

Globalization and the Boundaries of the State
The impact of globalization on the sovereignty of the modern state has been a source of great controversy among political scientists.

I argue that, rather than undermining the state, globalization is a product of a rearrangement of the purposes, boundaries, and sovereign authority of the state. Focu…

Justice and Political Economy in Commercial Society
The problem of Adam Smith's assessment of "commercial society" is inextricably linked to the nature of the unity of his moral philosophy. In this article, I offer an interpretation of Smith's "Science of a Legislator" that locates its unity and meaning in the application of a certain method of analysis in his theory of justice and political economy. In Smith's Science, commercial society is constituted by a set of principles, or mechanisms, the t…
