La fonction du développement dans le droit international des investissements

Synopsis of La fonction du développement dans le droit international des investissements

This work, based on a normative study of development rather than an economic study of law, demonstrates that the concept of development influences the interpretation and application of international investment law in certain cases. The concept of development is used in various senses: economic development, the level of development of States, and development in its sustainable form. The book argues that the use of this concept is highly questionable for identifying an investment, while its influence is more palpable in the application of norms related to the protection of investments.
