After a decade of working on it, my book is finally out with @OUPLaw.

The book argues that we have entered a new era: a backlash against #investment arbitration has given way to a backlash by arbitrators as new treaties produce old outcomes.🧵(1/9)

Intro oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/o… The book (1) charters how states have reformed their investment treaties, (2) tracks how these reforms have been dulled or reversed in investment arbitration, & (3) suggests ways to shift the regime's centre of gravity from old to new treaties. (2/9)

After being off Twitter for the summer to finish my book "New Treaties, Old Outcomes" on how new-generation investment treaties are interpreted like old ones, this is the first tweet I see. 👇

My paper on "The OECD Multilateral Tax Instrument: A Model for Reforming The International Investment Regime?" is out in the Brooklyn J. of Int'l Law:

It has been quite a journey... (thread) The international tax regime turns out to be fascinating - with many parallels to the international investment regime. Yet, few have written about the two comparatively, with @rpolancolazo @JoostPauwelyn @JChaisse being notable exceptions.
