    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?
