Investment Arbitration and State-Driven Reform

"Investment Arbitration and State-Driven Reform...under review provide fruitful, and complementary, insights as we collectively consider the path ahead." -- Olabisi D. Akinkugbe, The American Journal of International Law "This book is not only important - it is avant garde in many ways. From the computational analysis approach to the analysis of treaties - their innovation and the outcomes of the awards interpreting them, the interdisciplinary approach harnessed, and the three distinct avenues for efficient reform to produce the expected new outcomes to the modernized treaties-it may be said that the puzzle itself might have been too ambitious." -- Canadian Yearbook of International Law "This monograph will be most useful for academics who want to sharpen their understanding of investment treaty practice and government officials who seek to add to their toolbox. With his book, Alschner has written amajor contribution to the evolving debate on investment treaty reform. He meaningfully combines data science, doctrinal analysis and policy recommendations to dissect what he considers foundational shortcomings of investment law and constructively charts ways forward. For anyone interested in the future of international investment law there is no way around this book." -- Fabian Eichberger, International and Comparative Law Quarterly
