“…Because investment treaty arbitration is a creature of international law, it would be problematic to automatically transpose the experience of any particular jurisdiction on the international level. For instance, some scholars question whether constitutional ideas can migrate successfully from a given constitutional experience to the international plane, 167 contending that constitutional ideas cannot be separated from the constitutional culture in which they are rooted. By adopting exogenous elements, arbitrators risk making or transforming the law rather than interpreting or applying it.…”

Can investment treaty arbitral tribunals be considered to be global constitutional courts? This chapter aims to address this question and proceeds as follows: After briefly describing the main features of investor-state arbitration and the key challenges it is facing, the chapter investigates whether arbitral tribunals are or can be analogised to global constitutional courts. It then examines the interplay between arbitral tribunals and domestic courts. The chapter concludes that public law thinking can offer useful conceptual tools for reflecting on investor-state arbitration and that the interaction between constitutional courts and arbitral tribunals can be a fertile one. However, investor-state arbitration should not be considered as a form of global constitutional adjudication.

“…There have been, and there still are, a great number of controversies in comparative law. 23 In this sense, the lively but dispersed debate testifies to comparative law's "never-ending methodological self-doubts" 24 and consequential inability to reach, at least for the time being, its much awaited "maturity." 25 This prompts a further reflection-namely, that the many aims and methodologies informing the comparative enterprise in all its ramifications make it at times difficult to gain a comprehensive view of contemporary comparative law scholarship.…”

This introductory essay outlines the Special Issue’s aims and contents. After having offered a general overview of the development and state of comparative law as a discipline, it introduces the reader to the issue’s articles. The issue features articles by leading scholars and emerging researchers that make significant contributions to the academic debate on the current status and future directions of comparative legal analysis and methodologies of research. More particularly, combining theoretically-oriented essays with empirical accounts of socio-cultural, pluralist dynamics of ordering from the Global South (i.e., Latin America) and Asia (i.e., Japan), it takes a further step towards molding a body of interdisciplinary, pluralist, critical, and contextual comparative legal scholarship by (a) critically exploring what “philosophies” have been informing and shaping its development over the past few decades, and (b) suggesting possible new directions of thought for an age, such as ours, characterized by increasing regulatory density and complexity, and geopolitical instability. It is by meaningfully embracing this critical, interdisciplinary, and pluralist spirit that this Special Issue moves away from reductionist understandings of the comparative enterprise and speaks of “philosophies” of comparative law.

“…Первоначально кажущийся бессвязным и фрагментарным нормативный пейзаж 95 и ощущаемая хаотичность нормативного регулирования при внимательном рассмотрении обнаруживают соответствие сетевому обществу -миру астатических, пересекающихся и перекрывающих друг друга сетей. Сетевое пространство оказывается вне нормативной досягаемости отдельных государств и международных учреждений или вакууме, который и заполняется формирующимся нормативным массивом.…”
