International trade and investment treaties contain overlapping provisions that have been subject to divergent interpretations by tribunals settling associated disputes. Proliferation of such treaties has created conflicting obligations, significant uncertainty for states and businesses, and an increasing potential for government liability. Through a comparative study of targeted countries, legal concepts and sectors, this project reconceptualises the fields of international trade and investment law in order to maximise their coherence. By providing a framework for reform of existing treaties and negotiation of future treaties, the project offers concrete benefits for government and industry through increased consistency and predictability.

国际贸易和投资条约包含重叠的规定，这些规定已由法庭解决相关纠纷的解释。此类条约的扩散造成了矛盾的义务，对州和企业的严重不确定性以及政府责任的潜力不断增加。通过对有针对性国家，法律概念和部门的比较研究，该项目重新概念化了国际贸易和投资法领域，以最大程度地提高其连贯性。通过提供改革现有条约和未来条约的谈判的框架，该项目通过提高一致性和可预测性为政府和行业提供了具体的利益。
