The symposium will prognosticate the future of ISDS in light of the global debates swirling around TPP and T-TIP. It will explore the acute tensions underlying the legitimacy crisis confronting investment arbitration and consider how treaties or their interpretation may be recalibrated to strike that elusive balance between the sovereign right to regulate and investment protection.
