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 second episode, youth network activists Alfie, TJ, Lisa and Neve explore how investor-state dispute settlement, or "corporate courts", are structured and the injustices built in.

You'll hear contributions from:

Luciana Ghiotto, a researcher at the Transnational Institute specialising in trade and investment in Latin America, based in Argentina.

Jean Blaylock, an economic justice campaigner currently coordinating the European Trade Justice Coalition.
