Scrutinises the impact a comparative approach can have on investment law, and identifies a method for drawing sound analogies.

Recenzje

'Through a masterfully crafted analysis, Vadi guides the readers through the intricacies of this topic, investigating the tensions between the concept of legal culture and the 'invisible college of international lawyers', and ultimately reminding international lawyers that the use of analogies and paradigms is not to be regarded simply as an inconsequential academic pursuit, but has implications of considerable magnitude.' Niccolò Ridi, British Yearbook of International Law
