With the bilingual volume International Investment Law in Latin America: Problems and Prospects, Attila Tanzi, Alessandra Asteriti, Rodrigo Polanco Lazo and Paolo Turrini provide a regional perspective on one of the liveliest branches of international law by situating it in one of the most dynamic areas of the world.
Latin America has always had an ambivalent relationship with international investment law and, more recently, it has been the home of harsh and resolute criticisms, questioning the ultimate legitimacy of the regime. By bringing together distinguished scholars of this legal field, the volume analyses ongoing trends and draws lessons from the Continent’s past experiences while identifying possible solutions to the important challenges it faces.

It is a comprehensive and thorough study covering an indisputably broad range of issues. The book’s various chapters eloquently reveal Latin America’s particular significance and multiple stances in the system of the international protection of investments, seen both from a historical and modern perspective. This is an important reference volume on the topical, fascinating and evolving theme that is international investment law and Latin America."

"It is undoubtedly an excellent source to understand the difficult, complex and ideological times in Latin America and a meaningful tool to learn investment arbitration through the experienced lens of Latin America in the field. The timing of the book is ripe to provide these reflections and to learn from the Latin American experience, just at a time when things begin to change and the focus of investment disputes seems to look in a different direction. The hard-learnt experiences in Latin America, as discussed in this volume, could enlighten practitioners, investors and States in different geographies."
