About the Event

Investment treaties are said to improve the rule of law in states that enter into them by causing the states to internalize the obligations contained in the treaties. N. Jansen Calamita and Ayelet Berman unpack this theory and present the first empirical study of the internalization of investment treaties in eight Asian states in their forthcoming book, Investment Treaties and the Rule of Law Promise: The Internalisation of International Commitments in Asia (Cambridge University Press). In their talk, they will discuss an analytical framework for thinking about the internalization of international commitments in governmental decision-making and identify factors that affect this process in Asia.
