title = "ASEAN investment dispute settlement: A challenge to the ASEAN enhanced dispute settlement mechanism",
abstract = "The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA) provides a state-to-state investment dispute settlement through the 2004 ASEAN Protocol on Enhanced Dispute Settlement Mechanism (ASEAN EDSM). The existence of ASEAN EDSM is to ensure expeditious and legally binding resolution of an economic dispute. This special report aims to examine the relations between the ACIA dispute settlement and the ASEAN EDSM, as well as some issues in the implementation of ASEAN state-to-state investment dispute settlement under the ACIA. The issues that might challenge the implementation of ASEAN EDSM in the inter-state investment dispute are the problem of ASEAN's exclusive jurisdiction, the lack of special procedures involving least-developed countries and the impractical procedures of the ASEAN EDSM.",

note = "Funding Information: In contrast, CTS courses have largely become permanent and run annually. This is primarily because of a Reader position with special focus on Taiwan at SOAS and subsequently in 2009 the creation of the Senior Teaching Fellow in Taiwan Studies post. The latter appointment was made possible due to a grant by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. Furthermore, following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding in 2015 between SOAS and the Ministry of Education, the CTS was able to hire a formal Project Officer to provide administration support. This institutionalization with dedicated personnel and an administrative framework is key to the CTS{\textquoteright}s continued success. Equally crucial is of course the passion and hard work of the core members of the CTS, together with all the CTS project officers. Without their devotion, the rapid expansion of the CTS courses and activities would not be sustainable. Funding Information: Associate Professor, Meiji University, Japan.
