The evolving international investment regime

Présentation par l'éditeur
« The field of investment treaty arbitration has in a very short time span generated an astonishing volume of literature. What distinguishes this book is the effort deployed by many of the commentators to take a broad view and to appraise the system as it has appeared and as it may be evolving, in light of what they perceive as its effect on the policies of the world community. A very substantial range of disciplines and experience is represented here, and their analysis and prescriptions are often provocative, leading to greater insight through the confrontation of competing perspectives and priorities. » Jan Paulson, Principal consultant,Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP

« The Evolving International Investment Regime is bound to become the reference book for anyone interested in the future of one of the most dynamic fields of international economic law. Scholars and practitioners have combined efforts in this lucid analysis of the most salient features of international investment law. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the current problems of the emerging international investment regime. » August Reinisch, Professor, University of Vienna

« This remarkable collection provides important insights into the causes and implications of the changing patterns of international investment law. It explores the varied perspectives and claims of the main stakeholders in the system, including foreign investors, capital exporting and importing states as well as civil society. Most importantly perhaps, the collection comprises not only rigorous legal analysis but also draws on key insights from other disciplines. Inter-disciplinary analysis of this sort is surprisingly absent in much of the commentary on international investment law. This distinction in the methodology of the present work makes the underlying analysis all the richer and more compelling. » Jürgen Kurtz, Associate Professor, University of Melbourne Law School
