Rezensionen

"It would seem that works like the one by Professor Islam in analysing the perils of the elastic nature of the FET standard and the way arbitral tribunals interpret it, would encourage some soul-searching among many policymakers in the global South. Anyone with interest in international investment law would do well to consult this work of Professor Islam, and this is even more so for those in the global South." (Md. Rizwanul Islam, afronomicslaw.org, March 3, 2021)

"The book flees from a Manichean vision of international investment law. It is not written against foreign investors and in favor of developing States. With a scientific caution, the author reflects on how bridges can be built between these two actors with the aim of upholding development priorities without undermining investors' protection - thereby hinting at a fair and equitable treatment for host developing States." (Nitish Monebhurrun, afronomicslaw.org, March 2, 2021)
