What is the Problem with Investment Disputes? The Case of the Draft Legislative Guide on Investment Dispute Prevention and Mitigation
Embedded in any policy proposal is a set of assumptions about the problem that the policy is intended to solve. 1 As policy processes play out, some of these assumptions are contested by the actors involved, while others remain latent. Policy discussion about institutionalizing investment dispute prevention reflects a set of assumptions concerning the problem of investment disputes. In this contribution, I examine assumptions embedded in the deve…
The impact of investment treaties on domestic governance in developing countries
This paper empirically examines the impact of investment treaties on domestic governance in developing countries, through cross‐country quantitative analysis and a detailed qualitative case‐study on Myanmar. We clarify a variety of mechanisms that plausibly link investment treaties to impacts on domestic governance. Considering incentive, acculturative and political economy mechanisms, we find little evidence that the treaties lead to changes in …

In this article, we …
