Investment Law's Alibis

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of historical narratives and modern investment law, this book critiques the justifications rooted in colonialism and imperialism that continue to influence property and contract rights for foreign investors. It highlights how current investment law often mirrors discredited rationales from the past, raising critical concerns about its normative foundations. The author argues for a reevaluation of these justifications, advocating for more substantive reasons that respect citizens' rights and dignity rather than relying on outdated pretexts.
