Excerpt
By analyzing Ecuador’s record, this article intends to dispute the conventional assumptions that developing countries are neither efficient in dealing with investment arbitration claims nor equipped to handle them, and that they prepare their defense on a case-by-case basis. I would argue that Ecuador, and Venezuela, have adopted long-term strategies to overcome those assumptions, and deployed most of the characteristics commonly attributed to “repeat players” in complex, lengthy, and expensive litigation; coupled with a multi-claim scenario comparable to the scheme thoroughly analyzed by the socio-legal tradition6 for private and domestic litigation in the United States.
