Reviews

`The Research Handbook on Human Rights and Investment provides a comprehensive and timely analysis of the various dimensions of the interplay between investment and human rights. These many dimensions, including the effect of foreign investment on a local population's human rights and international corporate responsibility for human rights violations, raise complex policy and legal questions. The Research Handbook is a welcome and important contribution to research on the controversial interplay between investment and human rights .' -- Andrew Newcombe, University of Victoria, Canada
