Overview

The Encyclopedia is the definitive reference work on international economic law. This comprehensive resource helps redefine the field by presenting international economic law in its broadest, real-world context. Organized thematically rather than alphabetically, the subject is split into four principal sections: the foundations and architecture of international economic law, its principles, its main regulatory areas, and the future challenges that it faces. Comprising over 250 entries written by leading scholars and practitioners, traditional international economic law subject matter is supplemented by coverage of newly developing areas. Thus, the concepts and rules of trade, investment, finance and international tax law are found alongside entries discussing the relationship of international economic law with environmental protection, social standards, development, and human rights. The concise entries present an accessible and condensed overview of each topic within its legal context. Contributors offer insight into how institutions interact with each other and other legal systems, in addition to providing individual overviews of their history, structure, principles and procedures. Selected references follow each entry, suggesting directions for further detailed exploration of the topic. This Encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for both practitioners and academics. It acts as a handy reference to all areas of international economic law, and provides the ideal starting point for any research journey. Key features: valuable reference tool for scholars, students and practitioners organised thematically, covering newly developing areas of international economic law concise, structured entries from the top experts in the field selected references for further study.

Reviews

'The Encyclopedia of International Economic Law is a superb resource. It breaks new ground in defining international economic law as a specific and unified discipline, yet manages to cover all of the diverse aspects that contribute to international economic law.This volume will be extremely useful for practitioners and academics, and should have a significant impact in making what is often seen as an unrelated array of diverse topics into a single, cohesive and coherent field.' -- Meg Kinnear, Secretary-General, ICSID 'The Elgar Encyclopedia is an amazing compendium covering the full range of international economic law - from its fundamental foundations, history and significant institutions to the basic principles and rules, with a separate section on controversial contemporary issues. Over 250 entries written by the leading authorities in their field succinctly explain the key concepts in clear, understandable language and provide comprehensive references for those seeking additional detail. This work will surely become the standard reference book in the field.' -- William J. Davey, University of Illinois, US
