Summary
In recent years, the backlash against the negotiations of a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the European Union (EU) and the United States, the conclusion of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), including the proposal on a multilateral investment court, the conclusion of the negotiations of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the United States’ formal withdrawal from the Agreement have given new momentum to the public discussion between treaty protection to foreign investors vis-à-vis the States’ sovereign right to design and implement regulation to achieve economic development.
