The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes: the Tokios Tokelès Case

Summary: 1. Background, 2. Materials, 3. Case Issues, 4. Problems, 5. References. The contribution is coherent to the book's attempt to analyse global administrative law through the elaboration and examination of a number of different cases and case-studies. The architecture of its contents mirrors the characteristics of this field. In order to fully grasp global administrative law, however, it is important also to have a sound understanding of the broader governance context in which it is situated. The volume attempts to provide this also. The methodology for expanding and improving the Casebook project - now at its third edition - has been twofold. Firstly, the scope of the volume has been enlarged through the introduction, within each area investigated, of the most relevant and up-to-date features of global administrative law. Secondly, the largely “Italian perspective” that characterized the previous editions has been enriched by the participation of a range of foreign authors in the most recent iteration of project. The Casebook, originally conceived in Rome and New York, now draws on insights from many different corners of the world. Authors include professors and fellows from the US, Australia, Germany, Portugal, Canada, the UK, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands, Singapore, France, Poland, Colombia, and many others; with the involvement of leading institutions such as the University of Oxford, New York University School of Law, the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg, the EUI in Florence, the National University of Singapore, Universidad de Los Andes, the University of Amsterdam, and Sciences-Po in Paris. This third edition of the GAL Casebook aims to offer the most refined resource for the study and practice of global administrative law.
