Investment Treaty Arbitration and International Law Volume 8

This volume contains the papers and proceedings of the eighth annual Juris Conference addressing new developments in investment treaty arbitration with a focus on the fundamental issues that have drawn some of the greatest controversies in the jurisprudence over the past few years. The four topics addressed in this book include:

• Challenges to Arbitrators: Should the Challenge Process Be Overhauled?
• New Developments in Definition of "Investment": What Is the Role of the Concept of "Property" in Investment Arbitration?
• Is Investment Treaty Arbitration a Mechanism to Second-guess Governments' Exercise of Administrative Discretion: Public Law or Lex Investoria?
• Awarding Damages: Proportionality, Contributory Fault, and Arbitral Tribunals' Discretion or Toss of a Coin?
