Abstract
As the relationship between investor-state tribunals and national courts becomes increasingly tense, the urge grows to redefine the conceptual basis and architecture of this relationship. Questions of a constitutional nature come before investor-state tribunals and domestic courts alike, often simultaneously and leaving the door open to conflicting outcomes. Illustrating the most salient cases on this conflictual relationship, this chapter borrows from the European tradition on judicial dialogue between the CJEU and national courts of EU member states, with the aim to articulate (practical) solutions to facilitate judicial dialogue - and so mitigate the constitutional tensions - between investor-state tribunals and national courts.
