Recenzje

'This original, fascinating book assesses the impact of international investment treaties and disputes within states in critically needed ways. It explains the role of key actors, processes, and their institutional and ideational effects. It grounds its analysis in detailed case studies of Argentina, the Czech Republic, India, and Mexico. It demonstrates the value of para-ethnographic socio-legal methods for understanding the operation and impact of the investment law regime, and the regime's implications for policy.' Gregory Shaffer, Chancellor's Professor, University of California, Irvine School of Law; President, American Society of International Law
