International Investment Law

International investment law is one of the fastest growing fields of public international law. The field – today largely focused on the global network of bilateral treaties on investment protection – affects the ways in which states can regulate the operation of foreign investment. Over the last two decades, there has been exponential growth both in the formation of investment treaties and in the invocation of their unique systems of dispute settlement (against developed and developing states alike). This subject offers in-depth, targeted analysis of the various sources of investment law, their protections and the growing jurisprudence of investor-state arbitral tribunals.
