| Summary |
In 2010, the WTI launched the 'International Investment Initiative' (I³), a programme aimed at promoting research, advanced training, policy advice and dialogue in the fast moving field of international investment law and policy. The WTI thus decided that it would devote its September 2011 World Trade Forum to the most central challenges arising from the evolving landscape of international investment flows, rules and jurisprudence. |
