Research Interest

Nicolás’s research looks at the relational implications of the international investment regime, international investment treaties and investment arbitration. He focuses on how the international investment regime affects the rights and subjectivity of foreign investors, host states and local communities, ultimately shaping the local economy and the development process. In his PhD thesis ‘The International Investment Regime and Foreign Investors’ Rights: Another view of a popular story,’ Nicolás relied on property and contract theory to examine the meaning and content of foreign investor rights.
