Although a State s treatment of foreign investors has long been
regulated by international law, it is only recently that
international investment law has emerged as an independent
discipline in its own right. In recent decades the practical
success of investment arbitration has allowed international
investment law to develop both its own cadre of academic and
professional specialists and its own legal doctrines. This book
analyses the structure of international investment law, as it has
developed through the practice of investment arbitration in order
to see how a variety of international investment law doctrines
should be understood and applied. The book demonstrates how a
structural analysis can shed light on several major controversies
within investment law and also examines what an "investment"
actually is. The book offers an original interpretative approach to
the resolution of problems in international investment law, and so
is one of the few books within the field to attempt to give
investment law a solid theoretical basis. It also focuses on only a
select number of problems, rather than attempting to deliver the
universal coverage currently popular for investment law books. As a
result, those issues that are addressed get a detailed discussion
rarely available in competing texts.
