Analogies in International Investment Law and Arbitration

More about the book

Focusing on the tension between state regulation and the protection of foreign private property, this book explores the role of comparative reasoning in investment treaty arbitration. It examines how analogies can influence the interpretation of broad treaty provisions and addresses the legitimacy of investor-state arbitration. By proposing a systematic method for making comparisons, the author seeks to enhance understanding of investment law and its implications for public goods, while also outlining the limitations of such comparative approaches.
