MEDIUM-TERM DETERMINANTS OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT POSITIONS: THE ROLE OF STRUCTURAL POLICIES
2012
This paper provides an empirical investigation of the medium-term determinants of international investment positions for a large sample of advanced and emerging economies. In addition to the usually considered drivers of foreign assets and liabilities, the analysis focuses on the role of structural policy indicators. Using cross-section and panel regression techniques the results suggest that structural policy settings are important medium-term drivers of capital flows, having a relatively large impact on gross and net foreign capital positions and on their composition. In particular, the results suggest that certain kinds of structural policy reform could help to narrow global imbalances,…
Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment, Survival Clauses and Reform of International Investment Law
2016
In the last decade, international investment law has been on a trajectory of rapid evolution with reform high on agenda priorities. Reform requires a reconciliation of competing interests, which is generally so difficult to achieve that it is often unclear whether an option constitutes ‘reform’ or unwanted change. Two specific treaty provisions, the most-favoured-nation (MFN) treatment and survival clauses, can interfere with the reform process and become an impediment to changing the rules of the game. This is particularly true when political will is present. The MFN treatment, a guarantee of non-discrimination present in the quasi-totality of investment treaties, can have far-reaching ram…
International Investment Law and the Tangible and Intangible Aspects of Cultural Heritage: Substantive Discipline and Dispute Settlement Interactions
The relationship between international investment law and cultural heritage has commanded little attention and only recently. Certainly, international investment law has become one of the most prominent branches of international law.

In light of the few studie…

Diskriminācijas aizlieguma saturs starptautiskajos investīciju strīdos
2019
Diskriminācijas aizliegums ir viens no pamatprincipiem starptautisko investīciju tiesībās un starptautisko investīciju aizsardzības režīmos. Lai gan šis princips ir sastopams gandrīz ikkatrā investīciju aizsardzības režīmu nodibinošajā dokumentā, tā definīcija un saturs joprojām ir neskaidri, izraisot diskusijas starptautiskajā sabiedrībā. Principa interpretācija ir atstāta tiesu un šķīrējtiesu ziņā, kas nav spējušas nonākt pie vienota un skaidra diskriminācijas aizlieguma satura. Šī darba mērķis ir noskaidrot līdzīgās iezīmes principa definēšanā un piemērošanā, ko ir izvirzījušas tiesas un šķīrējtiesas risinot starptautiskos investīciju strīdus, tādējādi definējot diskriminācijas aizliegum…
