Praise for Investment Treaty Arbitration and Public Law Thoroughly engaging, the book provides a thoughtful and critical reflection on the use of international arbitration to resolve regulatory disputes between foreign investors and states... one of the best available and current descriptions of the development of the international treaty regime. * Andrew Newcombe, Modern Law Review * An academic grenade lobbed at the ever growing number of investor-state disputes and the arbitral procedures that govern them... [A] succinct, refreshingly jargon-free, and scholarly censure of the foreign investment arbitral regime... Van Harten has produced a strong critique of the process by which the modern world addresses disputes arising from the estimated $ 1.5 trillion in investment flows that now cross national boundaries each year... defenders of the nearly 3000 investment agreements that exist... will find much to ponder in this ringing broadside against a regime that is often lauded as an essential building bloc of globalization, economic development, and the rule of law. * Jose E. Alvarez, American Journal of International Law *
