Overview
Hydrological variability, increasing competition for water, and the need for regulatory flexibility may increasingly compel governments to adopt measures with significant economic impact on foreign investment. In International Investment Law and Water Resources Management, Daza-Clark offers an appraisal of indirect expropriation, revisiting the well-known doctrine of the police power. Through the lens of international investment law, the author explores a framework that assesses the legitimate exercise of police power with particular attention to the special nature of water resources.

In conclusion, International Investment Law and Water Resources Management - An Appraisal of Indirect Expropriation provides an interesting and fresh perspective on the analysis of claims of indirect expropriation in sensitive regulatory areas such as water resources management. [...] Although being a relatively short monograph, readers will find it definitely challenging and thought provoking. The author has been able to combine academic rigour with expositive clarity.
