Abstract

The investment treaty regime is challenged by the growing stock of foreign investments conducted by States themselves. With arbitrators seemingly keen on expanding the jurisdictional scope of investment treaty arbitration to cover a wide range of sovereign investments, host governments might have to revisit key investment treaty provisions to ensure a prudent and coherent governance of the globalization of State capitalism.
