Project `mappinginvestmenttreaties.com` on the web

 

The website of the project `mappinginvestmenttreaties.com` has been launched. The project is devoted to mapping investment treaty texts as they were data following an approach similar to what is employed in plagiarism detection software. The project has analysed so far 1612 English language investment treaties – almost 51% of the BIT universe. 

The authors are Wolfgang Alschner (Post-doctoral researcher at the World Trade Institute and at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) and Dmitriy Skougarevskiy (Ph.D. candidate at The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and Researcher at the Institute for the Rule of Law at the European University at St. Petersburg).

The weblink of the project is available at:
