Summary:

Today, international investment law consists of a network of multifaceted, multilayered international treaties that, in one way or another, involve virtually every country of the world. The evolution of this network continues, raising a host of issues regarding international investment law and policy, especially in the area of international investment disputes. With contributions by leading experts in the field, the Yearbook on International Investment Law & Policy 2009-2010 provides timely, authoritative information on foreign direct investment that can be used by a wide audience, including practitioners, academics, researchers, and policy makers.
