Abstract
Los abogados dedicados a resolver las controversias en el marco del
Derecho de los negocios internacionales contemplan los arbitrajes
entre Estados como algo irrelevante y hasta esot?rico, mientras que
los profesores, funcionarios y abogados dedicados al Derecho internacional
p?blico ven el arbitraje de comercial como un proceso esencialmente
alejado de sus preocupaciones y con cierta displicencia aunque sin
desconocer los beneficios econ?micos que depara. Pese a que los arbitrajes
internacionales,tanto p?blicos como privados, est?n destinados a
conferir soluci?n legal a unas espec?ficas controversias que surgen
en un contexto internacional, ambos mecanismos se han dado la espalda
durante muchos a?os para luego identificarse peligrosamente. El objeto
de estas p?ginas es contribuir, sin desconocer su cada vez m?s estrecha
relaci?n, a la necesaria delimitaci?n del arbitraje entre Estados
y del arbitraje comercial en unos momentos en que la especializaci?n
de los litigios y la actuaci?n de los operadores dedicados a estos
menesteres apuntan a un tratamiento cada vez m?s homog?neo. Un tratamiento
que cuenta con un destinatario especial: el arbitraje de inversiones.
Arbitration between States is conceived, by the lawyers devoted to
the resolution of disputes in the area of International Business
Law, as something irrelevant, yet esoteric. Meanwhile, professors,
officials and lawyers dedicated to Public International Law see commercial
arbitration as a process which is quite faraway from their concerns
and with a certain disregard, even if they are aware of the economic
benefits that it entails. Notwithstanding the fact that both public
and private arbitrations are meant to give a legal solution to specific
controversies that come up within the international context, both
mechanisms have first ignored each other for a long time, and afterwards
they have been dangerously equated. The aim of this work is to contribute
to the compulsory delimitation between the arbitration involving
States and commercial arbitration, even though their progressively
closer connection, in a context where the current specialization
of litigation and the conduct of legal operators point out to an
increasingly homogenous treatment. A treatment that counts on a special
addressee: investment arbitration.
