International investment law is in transition. Whereas the prevailing mindset has always been the protection of the economic interests of individual investors, new developments in international investment law have brought about a paradigm shift. There is now more than ever before an interest in a more inclusive, transparent, and public regime.

Shifting Paradigms in International Investment Law addresses these changes against the background of the UNCTAD framework to reform investment treaties. The book analyses how the investment treaty regime has changed and how it ought to be changing to reconcile private property interests and the state's duty to regulate in the public interest. In doing so, the volume tracks attempts in international investment law to recalibrate itself towards a more balanced, less isolated, and increasingly diversified regime.

The individual chapters of this edited volume address the contents of investment agreements, the system of dispute settlement, the interrelation of investment agreements with other areas of public international law, constitutional questions, and new regional perspectives from Europe, South Africa, the Pacific Rim Region, and Latin America. Together they provide an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.

Reviews for Shifting Paradigms in International Investment Law: More Balanced, Less Isolated, Increasingly Diversified

Hindelang and Krajewskis collection masterfully guides the reader through the intricate maze of the interaction between investment law and sustainable development from a variety of perspectives ranging from regional outlooks to theoretical analyses of the implications involving general international law. Accordingly, it is expected that the collection will be of great help to those researching the topic now a classic in its own right, though, as the collection demonstrates, a multi-faceted and unsettled one in academia, policy, and private practice.
