Written in an accessible language suitable for a broad readership while providing concrete insights designed for the specialist, this book will be of use to those active or interested in the related fields of trade disputes, competition law, and investor-state arbitration"--"Global markets have become increasingly integrated both in terms of the size of trade and investment flows and in terms of the number of players involved.
