`OPIC's formal determinations are an important part of the
jurisprudence of international investment law but until now they
have been largely inaccessible. This series, with its clear
organization and lucid commentaries, will be an indispensable tool
for scholars and practitioners.'
Professor W. Michael Reisman, Yale Law School
`Editors are to be complemented for their contribution to a better
understanding of the most essential dynamic of investment insurance
coverage-the determination of claims by the insurer, at one of the
most important investment insurers in the globval industry'
Barry Metzger, Partner, Baker & McKenzie
`Kantor, Nolan and Sauvant have done us a service in pulling this
information together in a coherent manner while leaving judgements
to the reader or scholar. This compendium, coming at a time when
there is greater use of and frustration with arbitration as a
solution to investment disputes should help enrich the dialog about
the relavant issues of international law'
Julie Martin, Marsh
`OPIC has the institutional experience of resources to engage with
the relavant legal principles at a level of sophistication which is
occasionally superior to that of some states. When presented by
three co-editors of this eminence, these volumes are a publishing
event of importance'
Jan Paulsson, Freshfields Buckhaus Deringer
`This timely book is a comprehensive synthesis and review of OPIC
political risk insurance claim decisions, which are a treasure
trove of thoughtful analysis on inconvertibility, political
violence, and expropriation issues....This is invaluable reference
for the scholar and practitioner alike in understanding political
risks and the tools available for international investors to deal
with those risks.'
