International investment law and its others

Más información sobre el libro

International investment law protects rights of investors, but its application often implicates public interests protected by human rights law, environmental law and/or domestic public law. The interaction between ‘international investment law and its others’ has prompted much debate recently and has revealed a considerable degree of uncertainty. The contributions to the present volume systematically address the most important aspects of the interaction. They show that investment protection can indeed have a negative impact on human rights, environmental law and domestic law. However, the interaction is not a one-way street: international investment law is not sealed off, but increasingly open to arguments based on human rights, environmental law and domestic law. In engaging with these arguments, investment law itself changes: it is not monolithic, but responds to the challenge of ‘its others’.
