Abstract

The time is here. The Latin American region cannot wait any longer; there is simply too much at stake: too many lives, too much potential, and, ultimately, too much waste. The discourse must change from focusing on Investor-State Dispute Settlement ("ISDS") at the international level to addressing the structural and systemic issues at the local level. This shift will strengthen the investor-State relationship and lead not only to the retention, but also the expansion of the Foreign Direct Investment ("FDI").
