englisch40 years after its entry into force, the regime established by the International Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) is thriving. ICSID"s new prominence however has come at a price. Faced with sharply increasing numbers of investment claims, arbitral tribunals have been forced to re-think old, and confront new, problems. The contributions to the present volume take stock of four decades of ICSID jurisprudence and assess some of the most pressing challenges facing the system of international investment protection. Topics covered include the following:

- the role of NGOs in ICSID dispute settlement

- the debate about an investment appellate court

- the overlap between investment law and WTO/human rights law

- recent trends in the jurisprudence on fair and equitable treatment as well as the nationality of claimants.

»a very valuable enrichment of the growing literature on ICSID«
