Críticas:

'The Oxford Handbook of International Investment Law' is a true reference book. It provides an exhaustive view of modern investment law and would therefore undeniably be of use to any legal practitioner or academic interested in this subject. (Revue De Droit Des Affaires Internationales)

Superbly written, and obviously the product of experienced editing. It presents a logical blueprint for both novice and expert readers. it is supported by useful footnote authorities. The overall subject is covered in a way that defies competition. It is thus a 'must' for business and law libraries...One might also use this book to teach an entire International Law course, premised upon a business-oriented approach. It would certainly be a valuable adjunct to the many legal courses touched by its grand design. (ASIL Newsletter, May 2009)

This book performs the role of a twin to the Oxford Handbook of International Trade Law (published in 2009), meaning that it is a standard reference work, the ideal starting point for a search concerning particular investment law issues, for example the rules on expropriation, standards of treatment or compensation. The reader will not only find a comprehensive analysis of the main ideas formulated elsewhere on these topics but also a number of proposals for improvement in these well-known areas...The book also furthers scholarship on investment law through several interesting contributions on novel themes which have been less extensively elaborated upon elsewhere...the Oxford Handbook of International Investment Law forms an excellent resource for academics and practitioners...as well as for advanced students of international law. (Freya Baetens, European Journal of International Law, Vol 20 No.3, August 2009)

...addresses the most relevant issues in a systematic way and rationalises the topics that come up most frequently in practice...This book will prove most valuable for practitioners in the field of arbitration. (ASA Bulletin 3)

...an important contribution to an emerging field of scholarship. The book provides not only encyclopedic coverage of the relevant legal doctrines, but also innovative theorizing regarding the future of international investment law. (ASIL Book Prize Committee 2009)

Reseña del editor:

The Oxford Handbooks series is a major new initiative in academic publishing. Each volume offers an authoritative and state-of-the-art survey of current thinking and research in a particular subject area. Specially commissioned essays from leading international figures in the discipline give critical examinations of the progress and direction of debates. Oxford Handbooks provide scholars and graduate students with compelling new perspectives upon a wide range of subjects in the humanities and social sciences.

The Oxford Handbook of International Investment Law aims to provide the first truly exhaustive account of the current state and future development of this important and topical field of international law.

The Handbook is divided into three main parts. Part One deals with fundamental conceptual issues, Part Two deals with the main substantive areas of law, and Part Three deals with the major procedural issues arising out of the settlement of international investment disputes.

The book has a policy-oriented introduction, setting the more technical chapters that follow in their policy environment within which contemporary norms for international foreign investment law are evolving. The Handbook concludes with a chapter written by the editors to highlight the major conclusions of the collection, to identify trends in the existing law, and to look forward to the future development of this field.
