Book Description

This book questions whether investment law influences the wider field of general inteational law, and more specifically, whether approaches adopted by tribunals in investment arbitrations have radiated, or should radiate, into other fields of inteational law.To answer this question, the book engages in a detailed analysis of pronouncements by investment tribunals on state responsibility, the law of treaties, and general principles of dispute resolution, and evaluates their impact beyond the narrow field of investment law. The perspectives provided in the book highlight how rules of general inteational law are concretised, specified, and at times moulded in investment arbitration practice. By doing so, the book enhances our understanding of the relationship between general inteational law and one its most dynamic sub-disciplines.Combining conceptual and practical perspectives, and offering a detailed analysis of the pertinent case law, the book is a plea for a fuller engagement directed at both general inteational lawyers and inteational investment lawyers. It will help investment lawyers better understand the role of general inteational law in their field of practice. General inteational lawyers will benefit from paying close attention to how investment lawyers apply and interpret rules of general inteational law.
