Prof. Fernando DIAS SIMÕES' latest article has been published in the Journal of World Investment & Trade

Associate Professor Fernando DIAS SIMÕES' latest article, titled 'Commitments and Expectations: What Exactly has been Promised to Renewable Energy Investors?' has been published in the Journal of World Investment & Trade (advance access).

This article examines the plethora of arbitration claims launched by foreign investors against states who revised economic incentives in the renewable energy sector and seeks to answer two questions. First, what kinds of state conduct amount to a commitment? Second, exactly what has been promised to investors?

Professor DIAS SIMÕES concludes that the language employed by states and public officials and the interpretation of its precise meaning is (and will continue to be) decisive for the outcome of these disputes.
