Today, international investment law consists of a network of multifaceted, multilayered international treaties that, in one way or another, involve virtually every country of the world. The evolution of this network continues, raising a host of issues regarding international investment law and policy, especially in the area of international investment disputes. The Yearbook on International Investment law & Policy 2010-2011 addresses current developments and salient trends in international investment law and policy. the current volume includes a Symposium on the new EU competency and chapters addressing such central issues as essential security clauses, climate change law, land acquisitions, State-controlled entities, and third-party funding, while examining the importance and relevance of dispute settlement within the current regime. It concludes with a debate on quantitative methods. This title thus provides timely, authoritative information on international investment that can be used by a wide audience, including practitioners, academics, researchers, and policy makers.
