   HEr dissertation examines the implications of international investment agreements for the regulation of the environment, particularly in developing countries.She focuses on international investment arbitration, framed as a form of private transnational authority.In addition to examining several investor-state disputes brought under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and under several bilateral investment treaties (BITs), she also analyses the influence that investment arbitration has on negotiated outcomes to investor-state disputes.Finally, she also addresses questions concerning the legitimacy of international investment arbitration as a forum under which to resolve disputes that concern public policy.
