The journal increasingly explores the implications of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence and blockchain, on investment law, indicating a trend towards addressing contemporary technological challenges. - Human Rights and Investment Law:
Emerging discussions around the intersection of human rights and investment law highlight a shift towards integrating social considerations within legal frameworks governing investments. - Regulatory Space for Host States:
A notable trend is the examination of regulatory space for host states in investment treaties, focusing on balancing investor protections with the rights of governments to regulate in the public interest. - Global Economic Governance and Multilateralism:
Recent publications reflect a renewed interest in global economic governance structures and the role of multilateralism in shaping investment and trade policies, especially in light of geopolitical tensions.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Investment Protection Standards:
The focus on classical investment protection standards, such as fair and equitable treatment and expropriation, appears to be waning as newer issues, like regulatory space and sustainable development, gain prominence. - Dispute Resolution Mechanisms:
There has been a decline in discussions solely centered on traditional dispute resolution mechanisms, with a shift towards more integrative approaches that consider human rights and environmental implications. - Regional Trade Agreements:
While regional trade agreements were once a significant focus, the journal's recent publications indicate a shift towards broader themes such as global governance and multilateral frameworks, with less emphasis on specific regional agreements. - Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) Critiques:
Although critiques of ISDS remain important, there seems to be a decreasing frequency of publications solely dedicated to this topic, as the discourse evolves towards reform and integration with broader policy contexts.
