In Towards Consistency in International Investment Jurisprudence, Katharina Diel-Gligor addresses the alleged proliferation of inconsistent decision-making in this field – one of the main points of concern raised in the ongoing discussions. After exploring whether such criticism is appropriate at all, she goes on to examine the different causes, forms, and manifestations of the inconsistencies that exist through a detailed analysis of ICSID arbitration. The author then canvasses possible approaches to reform and concludes that an ICSID preliminary ruling system – the practicalities of which are set out in the study – is a suitable means for enhancing consistency in investment arbitration and moving towards a jurisprudence constante.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements List of Abbreviations Introduction A.\tSubject Area: International Investment Law and Arbitration B.\tCentral Problem: Inconsistency in International Investment Jurisprudence C.\tCentral Goal: Targeted, Effective and Feasible Approach for Reform D.\tResearch Questions and Hypotheses E.\tResearch Methods F.\tCourse of Investigation Chapter 1 – Contextual Framework and Object of Study A.\tPreliminary Considerations B.\tContextual Framework: International Investment Law and Arbitration I.\tDevelopment of (Inter-) National Investment Law and Policy II.\tDevelopment of International Investment Arbitration C.\tObject of Study: ICSID Arbitration I.\tBasic Information II.\tRelative Strengths and Weaknesses: Comparative Law Analysis of ICSID and UNCITRAL Arbitration III.\tSummary and Evaluation D.\tInterim Conclusion Chapter 2 – Analysis of Problem: Inconsistency in ICSID Investment Jurisprudence A.\tPreliminary Considerations I.\t“Consistency” and “Jurisprudence Constante” – Working Definitions and Premises II.\tICSID Jurisprudence in the Focus of Criticism – Rationales B.\tQuestions of Principle I.\tIs Jurisprudential Consistency Desirable At All?
