Abstract
Purpose – International investment law has become a powerful tool of global economic governance. With
its global network of international investment treaties and effective arbitration mechanism, it has made an
extraordinary leap from a relatively niche and underrated area of international law to one of the most
prominent legal regimes. This paper aims to illustrate how the evolutionary trajectories of globalization and
international investment law have been intertwined.
Design/methodology/approach – This paper follows the historical unfolding of international
investment law against the background of the globalization phenomenon, tracing the history of globalization
processes since the expansion of European interests and export of capital and the onset of the international
investment legal framework.
Findings – The evolution of globalization and international investment law has always been intertwined
and co-dependent, experiencing similar phases of acceleration, transformation, adjustment and progress. This
paper finds that the current era of globalization is characterized by an increasing complexity and diversity of
transnational interests and global connections; this is also true for international investment law, which is
undergoing changes aimed at including wider contexts and interests in international investment relations.
Originality/value – The analysis contributes to a more holistic understanding of the interdependence of
these two phenomena, helping to explain how international investment law has become such a powerful,
globally recognized and applied legal regime.
