'Fair and Equitable Treatment' in International Investment Law

Roland Kläger, Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt
August 2011
Available
Hardback

    Description

    A breach of fair and equitable treatment is alleged in almost every investor-state dispute. It has therefore become a controversial norm, which touches many questions at the heart of general international law. In this book, Roland Kläger sheds light on these controversies by exploring the deeper doctrinal foundations of fair and equitable treatment and reviewing its contentious relationship with the international minimum standard. The norm is also discussed in light of the fragmentation of international law, theories of international justice and rational balancing, and the idea of constitutionalism in international law. In this vein, a shift in the way of addressing fair and equitable treatment is proposed by focusing on the process of justificatory reasoning.

    • Provides an in-depth analysis of fair and equitable treatment and the controversies and uncertainties which surround it
    • Describes existing lines of jurisprudence and introduces new conceptual ideas into the discussion on fair and equitable treatment
    • Discusses the implications of a doctrinal approach in relation to the wider system of international investment law and international law as a whole
