Do treaties matter in settling international investment disputes? @stratospahis.bsky.social, associate professor of law at @brooklynlawschool.bsky.social, joins @busscholarship.bsky.social to discuss his article "Are Investment Treaties Redundant? Evidence from Investor-State Disputes." 1/2

Investment treaties are the international agreements scholars love to hate. But do they really matter? Thanks so much to @andrewkjennings.com and @busscholarship.bsky.social for having me on to discuss my paper: "Are Investment Treaties Redundant? Evidence from Investor-State Disputes, ICSID Rev

First was a great conversation with @stratospahis.bsky.social on a nuanced view of investor-state dispute resolution on the @busscholarship.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRli... (2/6)

What options does Trump have if the Supreme Court rules against his emergency tariffs (as after yesterday's arguments seems likely)? I spoke to the The Associated Press about them here: apnews.com/article/tari...

A majority of justices on the Supreme Court seemed skeptical of the legality of the IEEPA tariffs during oral arguments today. But I was surprised that one of the government's key arguments wasn't subject to more scrutiny.

"It begs disbelief that Congress intended IEEPA to be used this way. The Supreme Court should make clear that it did not."

As President Trump's sweeping IEEPA tariffs head to the Supreme Court, I argue in a new @lawfaremedia.org piece, that they are based on pretext. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

This spring, President Trump declared that the U.S. trade deficit in goods was a national emergency and enacted sweeping tariffs in response. @stratospahis.bsky.social explains why the trade deficit should not be considered an “unusual and extraordinary threat."

Prof. Stratos Pahis’ article, “Are Investment Treaties Redundant? Evidence from Investor-State Disputes,” is now live on ICSID Review website. Pahis challenges assumptions on the importance of investment treaties & their role in shaping international law. academic.oup.com/icsidreview/...

I wrote a piece for The Lawfare Institute analyzing the Federal Circuit decision declaring Trump's emergency tariffs to be illegal. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Timely paper from law prof Stratos Pahis: "This Is (NOT) an Emergency: On Trump's 'Reciprocal' Tariffs and the Judicial Decisions Declaring Them Illegal"

Happy to share a new paper: "Are Investment Treaties Redundant? Evidence from Investor-State Disputes," forthcoming in ICSID Review - Foreign Investment Law Journal: tinyurl.com/5n8bmfn3 The Article analyzes a novel dataset of 318 ICSID investment treaty disputes to answer a fundamental question:

The @financialtimes.com is not mincing words "America’s astonishing act of self-harm" on.ft.com/3YjtOLV

Hard to think of a more self-destructive prez action than the new tariffs. Simultaneously knee-caps our economy, destroys our credibility, undermines the institutions underpinning economic & geopolitical stability (which we built!) & pushes our allies into the arms of China. Utterly destructive.
