Is It Time to Say Farewell to the ISDS System?
نویسنده
چکیده
Investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) continues to plague health-oriented government regulation. This is particularly reflected in recent challenges to tobacco control measures through bilateral investment agreements. There are numerous reform proposals circulating within the public health community. However, I suggest that perhaps it is time for the community to explore a stronger position on ISDS. I draw from mounting evidence on the problematic uses of the ISDS to explore the proposition that ISDS is no longer justified. I tackle the normative question of should the ISDS system persist and point out that the ISDS system is not justifiable from a development perspective and because of its nefarious use, is of no added value to a system that could rely on domestic courts.

متن کاملTHE FRANK KINETIC MODEL FOR SPONTANEOUS CHIRAL SYMMETRY BREAKING WITH VARIABLE CONCENTRATION OF THE ACHIRAL SUBSTRATE
This paper considers the possibility of spontaneous transition of aracemic mixture (composed of equal amounts of two enantiomeric species, say L and D) into a monochiral state (in which only one enantiomer, say L, is present). Transitions of this kind have been recently experimentally observed. A plausible approach to this phenomenon is a model put forward by Frank, based on simple laws of ...
متن کاملQuasi-ISS/ISDS observers for interconnected systems and applications
This paper considers interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems and studies observers for such systems. For single systems the notion of quasi-input-to-state dynamical stability (quasi-ISDS) for reduced-order observers is introduced and observers are investigated using error Lyapunov functions. It combines the main advantage of ISDS over input-to-state stability (ISS), namely the memory fading ...
متن کاملA Sociological Study of Authoritarianism in the Pahlavi Era
The present study addresses the Pahlavi era regarding the political system, and it is to investigate and analyze authoritarian governments. The study which is a historical-documentary one, also deals with the consequences of authoritarianism in the Pahlavi era and the impacts of historical-geographical conditions of Iran on the emergence and durability of authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is c...
متن کاملMPC Schemes Guaranteeing ISDS and ISS for Nonlinear (Time-Delay) Systems
New directions in model predictive control MPC are introduced. On the one hand, we combine the input-to-state dynamical stability ISDS with MPC for single and interconnected systems. On the other hand, we introduceMPC schemes guaranteeing input-to-state stability ISS of single systems and networks with time delays. In both directions, recent results of the stability analysis from thementioned a...
