Bloomsbury The Legal Protection of Foreign Investment Book

The law of foreign investment is currently at a crossroads. Following a global financial crisis and a rise in investment arbitration cases, nations are re-evaluating the current liberal investment regime. This book provides a deep look into these changes, offering a comparative study of foreign investment law to help readers understand the new directions the field is taking. This work brings together leading investment lawyers from more than 20 major jurisdictions. It is based on the General and National Reports presented during the 'Protection of Foreign Investment' Session at the 18th ICSID meeting. With a foreword by Meg Kinnear, Secretary-General of the ICSID, this text serves as a primary resource for those studying the challenges and evolution of international investment law.
