Political risk insurance and bilateral investment treaties: a view from below
Abstract
While relationship between bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and political risk insurance (PRI) has often been alleged to be considerable, in practice there is practically no publicly available evidence to sustain this assumption. This chapter reviews evidence from a recent survey of officials in private and public (or mixed private-public) PRI providers.
