ABSTRACT
This paper examines the intersection of comparative law approaches and political elements within the international arbitration system. Building on the foundation readings of Shahla Ali and Joshua Karton, this paper tries to examine the political ramifications of arbitration systems across countries by extending its scope beyond the technical legal framework. The paper also looks at modern political disputes in international arbitration, including opposition to reform projects like the EU’s proposed Multilateral Investment Court. This paper adds to the conversation on comparative public law by showing how arbitration negotiates the difficult balance between efficiency, party autonomy, sovereignty issues, and democratic accountability across many political settings.
