Reviews

This book provides a comprehensive account of developments in international investment law and practice in the Asian region. It places that account in a larger conceptual framework, partly defined by reference to rule making and rule taking by States. It also places it in the real and conceptually untidy world of domestic and international politics. I congratulate the editors and the contributors on their achievement. ~Hon Robert French AC, Former Chief Justice of Australia This is an important book for those who need to understand the real picture of international treaty investment in Asia. This book discusses the current dynamics in each different country and also the ways in which investment treaty arbitration is likely to evolve in the near future. Each chapter contains an independent look at the situation in a different country, so it is not a cookie cutter review with the same set of standard questions for the writer of each chapter to answer. There is much to learn from it and will inform any serious discussion of the future of investment treaty arbitration in Asia. ~Michael Hwang SC, Barrister and Arbitrator Asia is the most dynamic region for investment law and practice, and we finally have a comprehensive volume that covers the region in all its diversity. With a superb set of contributors from inside and outside the region, the volume will be essential reading for any serious scholar or practitioner in the field. ~Tom Ginsburg, Leo Spitz Professor of International Law and Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago
