Keywords:
International Investment, Dispute Resolution, ISDS, Arbitration, Mediation, Legal FrameworksAbstract
The resolution of international investment disputes occupies a central position in global economic governance. With the continuous growth of foreign direct investment (FDI), disputes between investors and host states have become increasingly frequent and complex. This article examines the historical evolution and current mechanisms for resolving international investment disputes, analyzing legal frameworks and their practical implications. By scrutinizing treaty-based arbitration, investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), and alternative mechanisms, this study provides a detailed assessment of their effectiveness, criticisms, and emerging trends.
