Chapter 2 identifies the key role that institutions play, in various ways, in implementing the globalization strategies. The nature of property rights requires a dominant role for legislative institutions and administrative agencies, alongside courts or tribunals with effective enforcement power. The chapter looks, for example, at the European Union’s institutions, and how the structure of exclusive, shared, and supporting competences within it may apply to property law. It then looks at the broader landscape of supranational conventions and other legislative instruments, and how their property provisions are enforced by supranational judiciaries, such as the European Court of Human Rights or the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. It identifies the key role that arbitration tribunals are playing in the enforcement of bilateral investment treaties and investment chapters in free-trade agreements.
