Abstract

The protection of foreign investment during times of revolution and civil war, and especially against acts of non-state forces, has a history—both recent and longer past. The issue has re-emerged as a result of the series of revolutions and civil wars, known as the Arab Spring. This is demonstrated by several recent awards against Libya, Egypt and Syria, as well as a number of pending claims. This article considers what a critique of this practice might look like and how it might fit in with existing critiques of international investment law. It argues first, that the contemporary arbitral practice concerning investment protection during revolution and civil war encourages a particular type of security state—and a particular type of state violence—along gendered and racialised lines and second, that it domesticates revolution and restrains revolutionary contestation of the prevailing economic order.
在革命和内战中保护外国投资——对当代仲裁实践的批判
革命和内战时期对外国投资的保护,特别是对非国家势力行为的保护,有着悠久的历史——无论是最近的还是过去的。这一问题因一系列革命和内战而重新出现,被称为“阿拉伯之春”。最近对利比亚、埃及和叙利亚的几项裁决以及一些未决索赔证明了这一点。本文考虑了对这种做法的批评可能是什么样子,以及它如何与现有的对国际投资法的批评相适应。它认为,首先,关于革命和内战期间投资保护的当代仲裁实践鼓励了一种特定类型的安全国家——以及一种特殊类型的国家暴力——沿着性别和种族化的路线;其次,它将革命本土化,并抑制了对主流经济秩序的革命争夺。
