International investment law has become increasingly prominent in the international legal order, spurred on by the explosion of Bilateral Investment Treaties between States and a sharp rise in international investment disputes. This rise to prominence has however not always been matched by academic reflection on the content of procedure of international investment law and its role within general international law. This volume seeks to remedy this situation by providing careful analysis of every area of international investment law and its relationship with other legal fields.It is written in honour of one of the leading experts in the field of investment arbitration, Christoph Schreuer. The book explores specific and topical problems of international investment law and practice in a focused way. It also provides a forum for broader theoretical reflections on international investment law and its relation to general international law. The book includes chapters on jurisdictional questions, issues of procedure in investment proceedings, the relationship between investment arbitration and other forms of investment protection, problems of substantive investment law, regional aspects, interfaces between investment law and other areas of law as well as the future of the law of investment protection. Featuring contributions by many of the most prominent scholars and practitioners of investment arbitration, this work should become an indispensable tool for practitioners and academics working in the field.

This comprehensive Research Handbook provides a detailed exploration of the principles and rules that impact the procedures and operation of international courts and tribunals. Within this framework, leading experts examine how the evolution of procedural rules and concepts has given rise to a distinct body of rules known as international procedural law.Diverse contributors from common and civil law backgrounds discuss the significance, sources and general principles of international procedural law and highlight crucial, yet often overlooked, international dispute resolution regimes. Specific problems related to the emergence of international procedural law, such as the interaction between international judicial regimes, are also unpacked and potential practical solutions investigated. The Research Handbook concludes by looking forwards, using a comparative analysis of the interactions between distinct international dispute resolution regimes to outline how mutual consideration and comity can lead to procedural congruence.The Research Handbook on International Procedural Law is an authoritative reference for students and scholars of arbitration and dispute resolution, constitutional and administrative law, and public international law. Discerning and practical, it will also act as a core resource for practitioners, government officials, judges, and members of adjudicative bodies.
