Lars Markert, Streitschlichtungsklauseln in Investitionsschutzabkommen. Zur Notwendigkeit der Differenzierung Von jurisdiction und Admissibility in Investitionsschiedsverfahren

Abstract

Given the major interest in investment arbitration, it is puzzling to see how much of the academic debate remains case-specific, tracing and evaluating the reasoning of specific awards. Only gradually, questions of procedure in investment arbitration are being approached in a conceptual and systemic way. Lars Markert’s book is part of the new trend: it approaches procedural conditions of investment arbitration systematically and puts forward a framework within which objections lodged against the jurisdiction of tribunals, or the admissibility of claims, can be analysed. Even those who do not agree with each and every argument made are likely to find the analytical framework useful and will appreciate the systematic approach informing it.
