A Comparison Of Compensation For Nationalization Of Alien Property With Standards Of Compensation Under United States Domestic Law, Haliburton Fales

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The Article compares the law of damages in international arbitration with United States domestic law and points out their similarities.
