Chapter XI embodies the investor&#8217;s real and practical experience under NAFTA rules. An examination of the historical record demonstrates that Mexican lawyers have been passive participants in defending investors&#8217; rights. On the other side of the coin, Mexican investors have not been active participants in NAFTA&#8217;s Chapter XI, in contrast to Canadian and US investors. Finally, Mexico&#8217;s experience in international arbitration has not always been negative, but Mexico has been criticized for a lack of transparency and due process for foreign investors.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Tras la celebración del aniversario número 20 del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN), el siguiente artículo pretende hacer un análisis a su Capítulo XI: Controversias Inversionista-Estado. El Capítulo XI representa, desde una perspectiva práctica y real, la experiencia del Inversionista bajo las reglas del TLCAN. Al realizar un análisis sobre esta experiencia, se logra concluir, que el abogado mexicano ha sido un participante pasivo en defender los derechos de los inversionistas tanto extranjeros, como nacionales. Asimismo y discutiblemente, los inversionistas mexicanos no han sido participantes activos del Capítulo XI del TLCAN, en comparación de los inversionistas extranjeros (Canadá y Estados Unidos de América). Por último, la experiencia que México ha tenido en el campo del Arbitraje Internacional, no siempre ha sido del todo negativa, sin embargo, México se ha visto expuesto por falta transparencia y certeza jurídica hacia el inversionista extranjero.]]></p></abstract>
