Call for Papers: Reform of Investor-State Dispute Settlement: In Search of A Roadmap

The Transnational Dispute Management network invites submissions for its upcoming issue themed Reform of Investor-State Dispute Settlement: In Search of A Roadmap. “[T]his special issue will explore recent calls for reform of the investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) system, along with the viability of five “reform paths” recently proposed for discussion by UNCTAD, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (see UNCTAD IIA Issues Note, “Reform of Investor-State Dispute Settlement: In Search of a Roadmap,” 29-30 May 2013).

“Submissions should be thoughtful and rigorous rather than advocacy pieces – we are not looking to publish tunnel-vision “calls for action” or “calls to defend the castle” by one side or another in the debate.”

Deadline: September 15, 2013.  Email submissions to Jean Kalicki at Jean.Kalicki[@]aporter.com and  Anna Joubin-Bret at
ajb[@]joubin-bret.com. Please CC info[@]transnational-dispute-management.com when submitting your materials. im
