Call for Papers

  • The Lex Mercatoria Publica Project at the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg has issued a Call for Papers for a workshop on “The (Comparative) Constitutional Law of Private-Public Arbitration” to be held on 21-22 November 2014. Against the background of a rising number of arbitrations between private economic actors and public law bodies, both on the basis of contracts and investment treaties, the workshop looks at how constitutional laws in a variety of different jurisdiction or regional regimes approach private-public arbitration and ensure that the public interest is safeguarded when public entities agree to arbitrate disputes. The deadline for responding to the Call is 15 September 2014. The full Call is available here.
