'This book is a real feat. The basics, and latest trends, on substantive investment protection principles and investor-state dispute settlement in just over 100 pages. As a primer or refresher, I highly recommend it.'--Joost Pauwelyn, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Switzerland'Prof. Reinisch's Advanced Introduction to International Investment Law provides a necessary guide for anyone embarking on the study of a field that has grown up and is, at the same time, facing calls for fundamental reform. The book is comprehensive and covers all the basic elements of the field. It is also impressive in its use of supporting materials yet remains accessible to non-specialists. Further, the depth of its analyses makes it also useful for the experienced academic or practitioner.'--Gabriel Bottini, Uría Menéndez, Spain'Prof. Reinisch's Advanced Introduction to International Investment Law provides a necessary guide for anyone embarking on the study of a field that has grown up and is, at the same time, facing calls for fundamental reform.
