'International Economic Law will surely become a must-have reference text for students, academics, practitioners and negotiators alike. Until the publication of this important work, we were missing a comprehensive textbook covering the wide spectrum of international economic relations, including, inter alia, trade, investment, finance, digital economy and development assistance. A welcome combination of theory and practice, it is written by two distinguished scholars living in different parts of the world and, as a result, offers a variety of perspectives on the many topics dealt with.' Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, University of Geneva

Reconciling all fields of international economic law (IEL) and creating bridges between disciplines in a conceptual as well as practical manner, this book stands out as the first modern, comprehensive international economic law textbook. Containing a technically solid yet critically rich body of knowledge that spans disciplines from trade law to investment, from trade finance to fisheries subsidies, from development to the digital economy and other new-age topics, the book offers the widest possible coverage of issues in current international economic law. Positioning IEL as a truly global practice, the comprehensive coverage includes various treaty texts, landmark cases and new materials, and is supplemented by case studies, real-life examples, exercises and illustrations. The case extracts and legal texts are selectively chosen, with careful editing and serious deliberation to engage modern law students. Mini chapters show examples of interdisciplinary interactions and provide a window into the future disciplines of international economic law.
