Its key characteristic is the extent of substantive and procedural decentralisation: while often sharing certain structural elements, both substantive obligations and mechanisms of international dispute settlement are mostly opposable only between the particular parties, even when expressed in multilateral form. This makes a clear and comprehensive overview of the topic particularly important. The second edition adopts a new structure that better reflects the concurrence of various reform proposals with the fairly stable stratum of instruments that inform the current practice. With this systemic dynamic in mind, the selected documents are divided into three parts: Past, Present, and Future. This highly regarded book is aimed at teachers, students, practitioners, and policymakers in the area. It can be used both as a practitioners’ handbook and as a classroom companion for courses on international dispute settlement and investment protection law. Dr Martins Paparinskis is Reader in Public International Law at University College London.

It is authoritative andmultilayered, offering an analysis of the key issues and an insightful assessment of recent trends in the case law, from both developed and developing country perspectives. A major feature of the book is that it deals with the tension between the law of foreign investment and other competing principles of international law. In doing so, it proposes ways of achieving a balance between these principles and the need to protect the legitimate rights and expectations of foreign investors on the one hand, and the need not to restrict unduly the right of host governments to implement their public policy, including the protection of the environment and human rights, and the promotion of social and economic justice within the host country, on the other. Surya P Subedi is Professor of International Law at the University of Leeds and Barrister at Tanfield Chambers in London. May 2016 9781509903016 344pp Pbk RSP: £41.99 18 International Investment Law
