The book brings to light how Latin American states have traditionally stood before the field of International Investment Law and Arbitration. It delves into their posture of resistance to critically examine how their perspective has gradually changed and how they have adapted and molded their investment agreements so as not to leave their position as players in the field of International Investment Law. Many Latin American states have appeared as defendants before international investment tribunals and some of these, like Venezuela, Bolivia or Ecuador, have denounced their international investment agreements. Deeming the law field as imbalanced, they have looked for alternatives to continue providing legal protection to foreign investors while protecting their right to regulate in the name of public interest. Some interesting investment agreements models, sometimes of a different ilk, have consequently flourished and have arrested the attention of those studying or working with international investment law.The main objective of this book is to critically discuss how Latin American states have accepted, resisted, or adapted themselves to international investment law and arbitration. Accordingly, the general connection between these states and international investment law are explained in an introduction which examines the general trends as per which Latin American states have offered a legal protection to foreign investments. The first part enters the merits of where international investment law and arbitration stand in some Latin American states whereby the experience of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, and Uruguay are discussed. The following parts explain the trends in international investment law and arbitration in Latin America. These trends are namely related to dispute settlement and governance, to the connection between investment law and human rights and finally to regionalization. In these parts, the experience of states like Brazil,Colombia, Peru, and Mexico are perused.

This groundbreaking book shines a light on a critical gap in the field of Business and Human Rights: the underrepresentation of women from peripheral countries. It begins by exploring how gender perspectives have shaped the development of this field—highlighting both theoretical contributions and practical tools aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Special attention is given to how women’s voices have influenced these developments. The book offers a unique analysis of the systemic barriers that hinder the publication and visibility of academic work produced by women from the Global South and other marginalized regions. These include challenges such as the burden of unpaid care work, language barriers, time constraints, limited economic incentives, gender-based discrimination, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of access to publishing information, bureaucratic obstacles, and maternity-related interruptions. By foregrounding these issues, the book not only amplifies voices that are too often unheard but also calls for a more inclusive and equitable future in business and human rights scholarship.
