Feminist Overview of International Investment Law—A Preliminary Inquiry

Journal of International Economic Law, 2021, vol. 24, issue 1, 99-125

Abstract: There have not been many studies to evaluate the tenets of international investment law from a feminist perspective. Thus, a study from a feminist perspective is not only desirable but also necessary to understand the position of women in this regime. To fill this gap, the article presents an analysis of the normative and structural frameworks of international investment law from a feminist standpoint. This article finds that women are under-represented in the structural framework of international investment law, and the normative framework barely touches upon the issues of women. The article suggests measures to gender-mainstream the investment law regime. It concludes that gender inclusiveness of the international investment regime can only be achieved when international investment policymaking is complemented by a flexible but robust municipal structure that supports gender equality and women’s participation in economic activities.
