Dispute Resolution That Divides: The EU -USA Conflict on Investment -State Dispute Resolution
Słowa kluczowe:
investor -state dispute resolution, ISDS, TTIP, CETAAbstrakt
Investment -state dispute resolution has been a hot topic recently, as we can observe a shift in the international trade agreements – both on the side of politics and economics. The European Union has started to negotiate several new trade agreements – some succeeded, some failed, and among the latter we find the TTIP with the USA. This article focuses on the neuralgic point of ISDS in the trade policy of the EU and the USA and summarizes the arguments for and against the ISDS mechanism reflecting also on the latest scientific literature and statistics.Bibliografia
