Is Mediation of Foreign Investment Disputes Plausible?
Article from: TDM 1 (2009), in Mediation & ADR
Introduction
The parties to contractual arrangements between States and foreign investors may be disinclined to subject disputes between them to mediation primarily because bureaucracies, governmental and corporate, may be reluctant to assume responsibility for accepting the provisions of a mediated settlement which afford them less than their publicly voiced demands.
Key words: mediation of foreign investment disputes is plausible but not prevalent.
