The recent arbitration awards where the notion of investment was determinative on the findings of jurisdiction call for new and wider reflections on the topic. The current practical importance of this topic also dictates the need to collect opinions already expressed, making access to them easier. The special issue on the notion of investment will be prepared by:
 Loreta Saltinyte Lecturer of International and European law at Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania. View profile. |
 Dr. Sébastien Manciaux University of Bourgogne, CREDIMI View profile. |
The possible, though not conclusive areas of contributions to this special might include:
Interpretation of the notion of investment under: the ICSID convention; the ECT; the BITs; NAFTA; and national laws on foreign investment protection.
