Applicable Law in Investor-State Arbitration - Kjos, Hege Elisabeth (Assistant Professor of International Law, Amsterdam Center for International Law, University of Amsterdam)

Investment arbitration has become the key forum to settle disputes between investors and the host state. It is not clear from the arbitration agreements which body of law the arbitrators should apply: national or international. This book examines how the legal framework which the arbitral panels operate in influences which body of law they apply.
