Rule of Law and International Finance

Session Submission Type: In-Person Created Panel

Session Description

When disputes arise between multinational firms and host governments, the firms frequently have multiple types of arbitration available to them: they may initiate litigation in domestic courts or through international tribunals. This panel examines the relationship between rule of law and international financial flows with particular attention to the availability and biases of domestic and international arbitration, institutional similarities and diplomatic relations between home and host states, and transnational regulation of corruption for example through the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
