Overview

This open access book examines how Europe’s traditionally open investment landscape has, over the past decade, shifted towards a more protectionist stance in response to evolving geopolitical factors. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, civil servants, and practitioners, it offers a comprehensive analysis through four key themes: investment frameworks, arbitration, sustainability, and future developments. With its expert insights and broad scope, this collection is an invaluable resource for investment lawyers both within and beyond the European Union. The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swedish Studies Network.
