About the Book:
Investment Arbitration in Eastern Europe: In Search of a Definition of Expropriation focuses on investment arbitrations in Eastern Europe, and in particular on the concept of expropriation—the core of the law of protection of foreign investment. This treatise brings together in one volume awards rendered in a geographic area where investment disputes have arisen frequently - Eastern Europe. The author, having being counsel or arbitrator in all the arbitral awards commented on in this work, is in a unique position for stocktaking of, and reflection on, developments in this dynamic and growing area of arbitration.
