The Secret World of Investor Courts is a podcast made by the Global Justice Now Youth Network, exploring corporate power, colonialism and climate justice in the shadowy system of trade and investment deals.
In this final episode, youth network activists Georgie, Jamie, Luise and Barasha explore how we can extract ourselves from the system of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), hearing the experience of governments who have scrapped ISDS treaties, and wins in Global Justice Now's campaigns against these corporate courts.
You'll hear contributions from:
Rob Davies, former Minister of Trade in South Africa, Honorary Professor at the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance at the University of Cape Town, and member of the Advisory Council on Trade and Industrial Development of the African continental free trade area.
Nick Dearden, Director of Global Justice Now, author of Pharmanomics: How Big Pharma Destroys Global Health, and longstanding campaigner against corporate globalisation.
