Is Latin America Special in Terms of Investment Arbitration
Welcome to this session on Latin America’s distinct features in investment arbitration. This panel brings together international experts to explore whether the region has unique characteristics shaping its relationship with foreign investment and bilateral treaties. The discussion highlights Latin America’s historical “love-hate relationship” with investment, the evolution of state policies, and the role of key countries such as Brazil, Mexico, and Ecuador. Drawing on recent examples and historical context, it examines how political and constitutional shifts affect the stability and predictability of the arbitral system. Join us as we uncover why Latin America may be a laboratory for global trends in investment arbitration.
