BAS VILIZZIO, Magdalena. Investor-State dispute settlement regime: resistance of the relational model in an institutional framework of international relations?. Relac. int. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.54, pp.163-178. ISSN 2314-2766.

Firstly, this paper describes the characteristics of investor-State dispute settle-ment as an international regime, within a bigger space: foreign investment protection. Secondly, this paper focuses on the examination of the regime in the light of the institu-tional model of international relations and it identifies three instances of resistance by the relational model: ICSID withdrawal -Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela-, alternatives to present dispute resolution mechanisms -European Union's proposal for an investment court system-, and domestic courts' reacquisition of jurisdiction to settle disputes with foreign investors -South Africa-.

Palabras clave : Investor-State dispute settlement; international relations; relational model; institutional model; States.
