Die investitionsschutzrechtlichen Standards des Energy Charter Treaty

Withdrawing from the Energy Charter Treaty is not a good decision for member states - yet it is the means of choice for some states.
This thesis focuses on analyzing the application of the respective standards of protection in arbitral jurisprudence first. The structure is based on the protection standards, subdivided into the respective cases. Then, the author presents and evaluates various reform approaches from literature and politics. Based on the ECT decisions and other reform proposals, the author develops his own approach to reform the ECT.

This work offers a promising reform approach, which is not limited to a 20-year protection of fossil energy production.
