Reviews

[B]y scrutinizing each case in its chronological and factual context, the author has done a fine job in illustrating the intricate differences between the stances taken by tribunals ... With his careful examination of recent invest treaty practice, the author has found several ways by which drafters can effectively curtail uncertainties surrounding certain terms in the BIT. It is safe to conclude that the book is a valuable contribution that would benefit treaty drafters and scholars alike. As this book provides concise factual background and detailed analysis of the legal arguments made by each tribunal, it can also assist practitioners in finding favourable cases and spotting unfavourable ones. * Kai-chieh Chan, Paris 2 Pantheon-Assas University, Journal of World Investment & Trade *
