Overview
The objective of this edited volume is to explore the role that digitalisation and new technologies play in the law and practice relating to international investment. The traditional view of international investment law, focusing on physical movement of investors and greenfield establishment, is currently confronted by the increasing diffusion and varying use of technological advances around the world. Digital assets and digital services pose challenges to conventional conceptions of territorial nexus in investment protection. Utilisation of algorithms and artificial intelligence in investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) is also not free of controversy when it comes to ensuring fair (and reasoned) outcomes and due process. Moreover, cybersecurity-related concerns exacerbate geopolitical fragmentation often negatively affect investment flows, both at the inward and at the outward levels. The contributors of this edited volume examine these and other related issues of contemporary investment law and critically reflect on how digitalisation and new technologies reshape the foundations of international investment law.
