Reconciling all fields of international economic law (IEL) and creating bridges between disciplines in a conceptual and practical manner, this book stands out as the first modern, comprehensive international economic law textbook. Containing a technically solid yet critically rich body of knowledge that spans disciplines from trade law to investment, from trade finance to fisheries subsidies, from development to the digital economy and other new age topics, the book offers the widest possible coverage of issues in current international economic law. Positioning IEL as a truly global practice, the comprehensive coverage includes various treaty texts, landmark cases and new materials, and is supplemented by case studies, real-life examples, exercises and illustrations. The case extracts and legal texts are selectively chosen, with careful editing and serious deliberation to engage modern law students. Mini chapters show examples of interdisciplinary interactions and provide a window into future disciplines of international economic law.
- All chapters clearly relate to and build on each other providing students with an opportunity to test and reconfirm their understanding and explore the subject matter on their own
- The compact case discussions and excerpts provide the readers with an opportunity to appreciate the essence of key legal concepts and form a critical understanding of international law and IEL as a whole
- Informed by the practices and questions that teachers, researchers and practitioners of IEL encounter on a regular basis; students will learn practical approaches from the rich menu of case discussions and hypothetical problems included at the end of various chapters
