The Law of Investment Treaties

"The quality and rigor of the scholarly inquiry is impeccable, with Salacuse methodically breaking down the complex components of subject areas and being prudently mindful of underlying variances across different treaties."
Jürgen Kurtz, American Journal of International Law

Investment treaties, which grant special international protection to foreign investors and give them a means to enforce those rights against States in which they have invested, have become increasingly important in planning, executing, and managing international investments. The Law of Investment Treaties explains the nature, history, and significance of investment treaties and their impact on international investors and investments, as well as on the governments that are parties to them.
