Pierre Sauvé is Deputy Managing Director and Director of Studies at the World Trade Institute, University of Bern. Klappentext The negotiation of a patchy but burgeoning network of international investment agreements and the increasing use to which they are put is generating a growing body of jurisprudence which, while still evolving, requires closer analytical scrutiny. Drawing on many of the most distinguished voices in investment law and policy, and offering novel, multidisciplinary perspectives on the rapidly evolving landscape shaping international investment activity and treaty-making, this book explores the most important economic, legal and policy challenges in contemporary international investment law and policy. It also examines the systemic implications flowing from frenetic recent judicial activism in investment matters and advances several innovative propositions for how best to promote greater overall coherence in rule-design, treaty use and policy making and thus offer a better balance between the rights and obligations of international investors and host states. Zusammenfassung Of interest to those in policy! academic and civil society circles who are concerned by the rapidly evolving international investment landscape! this book tracks the newest forms of cross-border investment activity! dissects the forces shaping them! explores the latest regulatory developments and suggests where the incipient governance system is headed.
