Esta publicación es el resultado de varias ponencias presentadas sobre la actualidad y el futuro del Derecho internacional de las inversiones en el marco de la II Conferencia Bienal de la Red Latinoamericana de Derecho Económico Internacional (RED-DEI). La Conferencia se llevó a cabo en la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Perú, en Lima, en octubre de 2013, con la memorable organización de Elvira Méndez Chang, directora en aquella época de la Maestría de Derecho Intemacional Económico de esa universidad y el apoyo de Dorotea tópez, de la Universidad de Chile. Algunos de los autores contaron con el apoyo del World Trade Institute (WTIl y de la Secretaría del Estado para Asuntos Económicos Suizo (SECO). La Universidad Externado de Colombia se unió a los esfuerzos anteriores y ahora entrega a la comunidad académica y practicantes de esta área del derecho esta publicación. El Derecho internacional de las inversiones tiene diferentes aristas que son tratadas en este libro. Desde sus relaciones con el medioambiente, pasando por las tensiones con los derechos humanos, las cláusulas de emergencia y el estado de necesidad, hasta los posibles efectos de la retirada de varios países suramericanos del sistema de solu¬ción del Centro Internacional de Arreglo de Diferencias Relativas a Inversiones (CIADI). En cada uno de los artículos se siente la visión latinoamericana, desde sus diversas ex-presiones liberales y críticas.

Latin America has been a complex laboratory for the development of international investment law. While some governments and non-state actors have remained true to the Latin American tradition of resistance towards the international investment law regime, other governments and actors have sought to accommodate said regime in the region. Consequently, a profusion of theories and doctrines, too often embedded in clashing narratives, has emerged. In Latin America, the practice of international investment law is the vivid amalgamation of the practice of governments sometimes resisting and sometimes welcoming mainstream approaches; the practice of lawyers assisting foreign investors from outside and within the region; and the practice of civil society, indigenous peoples and other actors in their struggle for human rights and sustainable development. Latin America and international investment law describes the complex roles that governments have played vis-à-vis foreign investors and investments; the refreshing but clashing forces that international organizations, corporations, civil society, and indigenous peoples have brought to the field; and the contribution that Latin America has made to the development of the theory and practice of international investment law, notably in fields in which the Latin American experience has been traumatic: human rights and sustainable development. Latin American scholars have been contributing to the theory of international investment law for over a century; resting on the shoulders of true giants, this volume aims at pushing this contribution a little further.

Zusammenfassung: The book brings to light how Latin American states have traditionally stood before the field of International Investment Law and Arbitration. It delves into their posture of resistance to critically examine how their perspective has gradually changed and how they have adapted and molded their investment agreements so as not to leave their position as players in the field of International Investment Law. Many Latin American states have appeared as defendants before international investment tribunals and some of these, like Venezuela, Bolivia or Ecuador, have denounced their international investment agreements. Deeming the law field as imbalanced, they have looked for alternatives to continue providing legal protection to foreign investors while protecting their right to regulate in the name of public interest. Some interesting investment agreements models, sometimes of a different ilk, have consequently flourished and have arrested the attention of those studying or working with international investment law. The main objective of this book is to critically discuss how Latin American states have accepted, resisted, or adapted themselves to international investment law and arbitration. Accordingly, the general connection between these states and international investment law are explained in an introduction which examines the general trends as per which Latin American states have offered a legal protection to foreign investments. The first part enters the merits of where international investment law and arbitration stand in some Latin American states whereby the experience of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, and Uruguay are discussed. The following parts explain the trends in international investment law and arbitration in Latin America. These trends are namely related to dispute settlement and governance, to the connection between investment law and human rights and finally to regionalization. In these parts, the experience of states like Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Mexico are perused

Composed of original articles from academics and policy notes from practitioners, this book attempts to draw up the state of multilateralism through the UN model and identify potential ways to address its challenges and shortcomings. The contributors question the role of multilateralism, sometimes accused of being fragmented, inefficient and unrepresentative, and its impact on global governance, democracy, trade and investment, the environment, and human rights. Since most of the authors are not from the UN system, the content of the contributions provides an external and more neutral assessment of the UN’s ability to continue to function today as a serious actor within a global movement in favor of a renewed form of multilateralism. Does the UN Model Still Work? Challenges and Prospects for the Future of Multilateralism is now available in paperback for individual customers.
