Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) Cases in the Asia-Pacific Region: The Record

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The inclusion of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) clauses in bilateral trade and investment agreements and in multilateral free trade agreements has recently been a matter of serious debate and it remains a topic dealt under close scrutiny amongst policy-makers. This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the ISDS cases involving countries in the Asia-Pacific region. It points out which countries are most actively involved, a sectoral analysis of the disputes and relevant information regarding the outcome of the cases, including the amounts sought and awarded by tribunals. A regional analysis of ISDS cases is extremely timely given the undergoing reform efforts of the system, as it results evident from the recently agreed text for a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
