"The aforementioned chapters by Pauwelyn and Viñuales add further substance to our present discussion by challenging nowadays outdated explanations for the readiness of states to participate in investment law by concluding and becoming a party to BITs and other investment agreements or daring to address the big elephant in the room behind the general discussion on fi nding the correct path between the right to regulate and the need for investment protection: What role for sovereignty and how, to begin with, can sovereignty be understood in this context?" - Ralph Janik, Austrian Review of International and European Law
