521 International Investment Law: The Protection and Financialization of Foreign Investments
This course explores how these stakeholders derive financial value from international investment law. Since the value of claims depends on their legal merit, the course begins with key jurisdictional and substantive legal principles, which are key to these stakeholders. It then turns to how foreign investors can use international investment law as another tool to protect their investments abroad. The course covers a variety of techniques that investors and their counsel can use to preserve and recover value from international investment law claims, including incorporating in jurisdictions affording treaty rights, securing third-party funding, monetizing claims (such as through the assignment of claims or divestitures), and acquiring insurance policies
