Surya P Subedi is Professor of International Law at the University of Leeds and Barrister at Tanfield Chambers in London.
...this book stands out from many of the others currently
addressing the topic of international investment law — it goes
beyond stating what the law is and focuses on controversies
occurring within this area of the law...International Investment
Law: Reconciling Policy and Principle does make a valuable
contribution to the discourse on the implications of foreign
investment protection rules for domestic policy space and on their
interaction with principles from other areas of international law,
such as human rights law or international environmental law. It
will also serve as an excellent introduction to this complex area
of international law for newcomers to the subject, whether legal
scholars, policy-makers, or students.
*Australian International Law Journal*
…a timely book. In a modest 244 pages, the author brings together a
host of important substantive and procedural issues which beset the
effective and balanced functioning of international law on foreign
investment. Without denying the positive role of international law
in advancing the protection of foreign investment, the author
offers a vision of how the promotion of investment can be
reconciled with competing policies. The extensive coverage of the
book explains its dispensation with details of investment cases,
which can be found elsewhere. With its focus, critical approach,
brevity, and incisive argument, the book will provide an excellent
source of reference for advanced students, academics, and
practitioners.
