The Centre for International Law of the National University of Singapore cordially invites you to attend a virtual book discussion under the theme “Manifestations of Coherence and Investor-State Arbitration”.
The coherence of decisions produced in investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) has long been a cause of concern for states and a point of criticism in academic literature, so much so, that a perceived lack of coherence in ISDS is now among the core drivers of ISDS reform. Yet, despite the centrality of this concern, there is a notable absence of in-depth examination into the concept of coherence itself. How should one conceive of coherence in the ISDS context and what are some of its theoretical and practical manifestations therein? This panel seeks to suggest answers to these questions. The starting point for the discussion is the recently published book Manifestations of Coherence and Investor-State Arbitration (Cambridge University Press, 2023), authored by Charalampos Giannakopoulos. Please see the programme here.
You may register your attendance directly here.
Date and place: 2 May 2023, on the Zoom platform
Time: 5:00pm-6:00pm (SGT) / 11am-12:00 pm (CEST).
