xxvii, 413 pages ; 25 cm.

"[This book] analyses the evolution and current landscape of dispute settlement in trade and investment agreements in the Americas. In recent years many Latin American countries have liberalized their trade and investment regimes, opening their markets to free international trade. At the same time, regional economic integration has boomed. This book is the first systematic analysis in any language of these globally significant developments, and the first comprehensive legal study of dispute settlement relating to foreign direct investment and trade in the region. The book looks beyond focusing on formalized dispute settlement mechanisms to underline other techniques such as alternative dispute resolution channels, including dispute prevention practices. In proposing solutions to the current challenges, the book taps into the precedents and practice, stressing the relevant domestic and international case law on dispute resolution applicable to these treaties."-- Back cover.
