Book Description
It draws together the views of international experts on the use of soft law in international law generally and in discrete fields such as WTO, commercial, and environmental law. The book assesses whether investment law has sufficiently coalesced over the last 50 years to be ‘codified’ and focuses particularly on topical issues such as most-favored-nation treatment and expropriation.
This timely book will appeal to academics interested in the development of international law and legal theory, to those working in investment law, government investment treaty negotiators and arbitration practitioners.

‘[T]he book covers an exceptionally wide range of issues in the process of examining the topic of investment law and soft law. If you’re involved in investment law, or government investment treaty negotiations, or arbitration proceedings – or if you have an interest in international law and legal theory, you would do well to acquire this erudite and timely work of reference.’
