Book Description:

The recent explosion of investor claims against sovereign states under investment treaties marks a revolution in international and public law. By establishing this special system of international arbitration, states have unwittingly privatized key powers of the courts in their role as a branch of government. This book analyses how this development is corrupting our historic tradition of judicial independence.
