Latin America has been a complex laboratory for the development of
international investment law. While some governments and non-state
actors have remained true to the Latin American tradition of
resistance towards the international investment law regime, other
governments and actors have sought to accommodate said regime in
the region. Consequently, a profusion of theories and doctrines,
too often embedded in clashing narratives, has emerged. In Latin
America, the practice of international investment law is the vivid
amalgamation of the practice of governments sometimes resisting and
sometimes welcoming mainstream approaches; the practice of lawyers
assisting foreign investors from outside and within the region; and
the practice of civil society, indigenous peoples and other actors
in their struggle for human rights and sustainable development.
Latin America and international investment law describes the
complex roles that governments have played vis-a-vis foreign
investors and investments; the refreshing but clashing forces that
international organizations, corporations, civil society, and
indigenous peoples have brought to the field; and the contribution
that Latin America has made to the development of the theory and
practice of international investment law, notably in fields in
which the Latin American experience has been traumatic: human
rights and sustainable development. Latin American scholars have
been contributing to the theory of international investment law for
over a century; resting on the shoulders of true giants, this
volume aims at pushing this contribution a little further. -- .
