Book Review: The Public International Law Regime Governing International Investment, By Jose E. Alvarez, The Hague: Hague Academy Of International Law, 2011, Pp. 502, Susan Franck Oct 2012

Book Review: The Public International Law Regime Governing International Investment, By Jose E. Alvarez, The Hague: Hague Academy Of International Law, 2011, Pp. 502, Susan Franck

Book Reviews

Jose Alverez's recent book, The Public International Law Regime Governing International Investment, places international investment law firmly within the rubric of public international law. Historically, international investment law might have been classified as pure private international law given the private commercial actors and investment activities involved. Alvarez posits that a dichotomous public versus private law paradigm does not work in the context of international investment and makes the implicit explicit by considering investment law’s unique, arguably sui generis, hybrid essence that crosses the public and private international law divides. This book review explores Alvarez's primary thesis and his extended exposition …

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article takes advantage of the breach in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiation’s secrecy to contribute to a new and growing collection of published scholarship on leaked proposals for international intellectual property agreements as they are being negotiated. We begin with the general provisions of the agreement, which define its relationship to the multilateral system. We then progress to analysis of some of the most important copyright, patent and data protection, and enforcement sections of the proposal, before providing some concluding observations. Our ultimate conclusion is that the U.S. proposal, if adopted, would upset the current international framework balancing the interests …
