The second week of the investment course delves into the dynamic field of investment disputes, exploring recent patterns of investor–state litigation, the nature of the substantive disciplines and actors involved, and the evolving body of jurisprudence. The second week also explores the scope for and practical modalities of alternative means of resolving conflict in investment relations, notably through dispute mediation. Participants may attend either one or both of the investment weeks depending on their level of familiarity with investment rule-making issues.
