520    "The updated edition of this acclaimed book offers a 
       critical overview of the law of foreign investment, 
       incorporating a thorough analysis of the principles and 
       standards of treatment available to foreign investors in 
       international law. It is authoritative and multi-layered, 
       offering an analysis of the key issues and an insightful 
       assessment of recent trends in the case law, from both 
       developed and developing country perspectives. A major 
       feature of the book is that it deals with the tension 
       between the law of foreign investment and other competing 
       principles of international law. In doing so, it proposes 
       ways of achieving a balance between these principles and 
       the need to protect the legitimate rights and expectations
       of foreign investors on the one hand, and the need not to 
       restrict unduly the right of host governments to implement
       their public policy on the other, including the protection
       of the environment and human rights, and the promotion of 
       social and economic justice within the host country. Many 
       of the pioneering ideas that were advanced in the first 
       edition of this book in 2008 have been taken up by 
       governments and international organisations in their 
       attempts to reform the investor-State dispute settlement 
       mechanism and strike a balance between different competing
       principles in developing international investment law. 
       Accordingly, this fourth edition captures the essence of 
       the ongoing multiple reform processes -either planned or 
       envisaged - currently underway"--|cProvided by publisher
