| Inhalt | Whether you are interested in climate change, human rights, development, new technologies and innovation, business, or dispute resolution, you are encouraged to take international investment law. This course examines the international regulation of investment protection, which is to say that it takes up all sorts of questions relating to how states treat foreigners and foreign-owned property. The issues we discuss have no right or wrong answers, and they are constantly evolving. but there are basic principles that we will apply to debate likely outcomes. During the semester we will see how the specific problems that foreigner face when they are active in another state's economy were addressed in history before turning to the current legal framework. Our focus, however, will be on today's increasingly complex system of investment treaties and customary law relating to how a government must or must not treat foreign property-owners in their territory. There will be plenty of time to examine - and to question - the decision of adjudicators and to think about how the system as a whole can be improved. |
| Lernziele | Students should be able to: - recount the historical development of investment protection - explain the need for international minimum standards of investment protection - identify the jurisdictional requirements for starting investor-State dispute settlement proceedings - discuss the legal elements of expropriation and point out the differences between legal/illegal and direct/indirect expropriations - make a convincing argument on when the fair and equitable treatment standard would be appropriately applied - explain the other standards of investment protection - identify weaknesses in the international system of investment protection - discuss the differences in investment insurance schemes |
