Legal Framework for the Treatment of Foreign Investment. Volume 1. Survey ofExisting Instruments

摘要

The volume contains four studies of the major contemporary sources of legalprinciples governing foreign investment. Together, these studies provide a comprehensive survey of bilateral investment treaties, multilateral legal instruments, recent national investment codes and international awards related to the legal relationship between foreign investors and their host governments in recent years. The study of arbitral awards also surveys the broad array of conflicting doctrinal views on this important subject. While the studies are descriptive in nature, bibliographies are provided for each study to assist readers and researchers interested in critical analyses of the subject matter.
