Abstract
This chapter illustrates the potential and challenges of mixing methods1
in empirically investigating treaty-based investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS). It focuses on three issues raised by policy-makers and
wider public discussion in recent years:
• Do ISDS provisions lead to more cross-border foreign direct investment
(FDI)?
• Do investors need and (threaten to) use ISDS-backed protections when
investing abroad?
• Does offering ISDS lead to excessive costs to host states, directly or (via
‘regulatory chill’) indirectly?
