ABSTRACT

In the conclusion of this book, the applicability of ADR mechanisms for issues arising from energy investments are discussed in between two ideas: that ADR can be replaced with arbitration and that there is nothing that ADR can promise are the two points of a pendulum. Observed in this chapter are firstly, the ADR doctrine; secondly, the current dispute resolution regime; thirdly, the drawbacks of the current system and the possibility of ADR integration; fourthly, the actual options and ADR rules presented by institutions; and fifthly, the applicability of ADR. In doing so, the characteristics of energy investment disputes and the challenges of ADR have been analyzed to find a gap for the applicability of ADR. This chapter will summarize the core points and the main findings with added content on what can be done for future prospects and suggestions for host states. Thus, the book will contribute to the existing literature on the subject.
