This book outlines the principles behind
the international law of foreign investment. The main focus is on the law
governed by bilateral and multilateral investment treaties. It traces the
purpose, context, and evolution of the clauses and provisions characteristic of
contemporary investment treaties, and analyses the case law, interpreting the
issues raised by standard clauses. Particular consideration is given to broad
treaty-rules whose understanding in practice has mainly been shaped by their
interpretation and application by international tribunals. In addition, the book
introduces the dispute settlement mechanisms for enforcing investment law,
outlining the operation of Investor vs State arbitration. Combining a systematic
analytical study of the texts and principles underlying investment law with a
jurisprudential analysis of the case law arising in international tribunals,
this book offers an ideal introduction to the principles of international
investment law and arbitration, for students or practitioners alike.
