商品描述
This book explores the complexities arising at the intersection of international law, state sovereignty, and global commerce. The core focus is on how international arbitration can be employed to resolve disputes stemming from the national security screening of foreign direct investment (FDI). The flow of FDI has been integral to global economic development, yet it has increasingly attracted scrutiny from national governments. This scrutiny has intensified due to geopolitical tensions and concerns over the control of critical infrastructure and sensitive technologies. As states aim to balance the economic benefits of FDI with the need to protect national security, conflicts between state actions and international investment agreements have grown more complex. International arbitration, particularly through investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), represents a crucial forum for resolving these disputes. The book addresses the challenge of upholding international treaties while respecting the legitimate security concerns of states. It provides a detailed examination of how ISDS mechanisms can address these disputes, the legal principles involved, and the broader implications for international law and global investment governance. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on harmonizing national security needs with the standards of protection promised under international investment law. It critically analyzes the role of arbitration in resolving conflicts arising from national security screenings, offering insights into how arbitral tribunals balance state sovereignty with investor protection. Additionally, it explores potential improvements to the arbitration process to enhance its fairness and efficiency in handling these high-stakes disputes.

本書探討國際法、國家主權與全球商業交匯處所產生的複雜性。核心焦點在於如何利用國際仲裁來解決源自外國直接投資（FDI）國家安全審查的爭端。FDI的流動對全球經濟發展至關重要，但它越來越受到各國政府的關注。由於地緣政治緊張局勢及對關鍵基礎設施和敏感技術控制的擔憂，這種關注已加劇。隨著各國旨在平衡FDI的經濟利益與保護國家安全的需求，國家行動與國際投資協議之間的衝突變得更加複雜。國際仲裁，特別是通過投資者與國家爭端解決機制（ISDS），成為解決這些爭端的重要論壇。
本書針對在尊重國家合法安全關切的同時維護國際條約的挑戰進行探討。它詳細檢視ISDS機制如何處理這些爭端、涉及的法律原則，以及對國際法和全球投資治理的更廣泛影響。本研究對於調和國家安全需求與國際投資法下所承諾的保護標準的持續討論作出貢獻。它批判性地分析仲裁在解決因國家安全審查而產生的衝突中的角色，提供有關仲裁庭如何平衡國家主權與投資者保護的見解。此外，它還探討了改善仲裁過程的潛在方法，以提高其在處理這些高風險爭端時的公平性和效率。
