Arbitrating Foreign Investment Disputes
Cross-border direct investment constitutes a substantial sector of the international financial market and is also an important vehicle for the transfer of technology and the modernisation of national economies. In recent years, international arbitration has gained a prominent role as a means of settlement of foreign investment disputes. The number and size of investment disputes under arbitration have risen significantly due to the growing number of bilateral investment treaties and increased use of arbitration under multilateral investment treaties.

Christopher's Summer
"I'm going to die," nine-year-old Christopher Dugan announced to his father one summer afternoon as they sat together on a hammock, eating popsicles and watching the loons floating on the nearby lake where they were vacationing. In obvious shock, Christopher's father replied incredulously, "What?" "I'm going to die," Christopher repeated. "So are you. I need to know when, and how. I don't want it to be painful. What is it like when you die? And where do you go? You're a minister, so you know about these things."

P.I.P.I.
The inception of the P.I.P.I was a harmless lark. But Elena Chesterton and her friends soon uncovered a link between the murders of six influential women in Oregon and international plots to unleash Smallpox virus and explode nuclear bombs in major American cities. P.I.P.I. has a double meaning. The women of the Philippine Island-Products Incorporated an ethnic catering business have a few simple goals: making money to fund their cultural dance exhibitions, helping the poor, and spreading good will. But the same women assume roles as Philippine Island Private Investigators to track a sinister quarry through the Philippine archipelago and across the western United States.
Double Recovery in Investment Arbitration
This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the risk of double compensation, often called double recovery, in the investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) system and proposes a practical solution to the problems which double compensation creates. The book responds to all the key questions that legal counsel, arbitrators, judges, and scholars facing the double compensation issue may have, including: What requirements must be met for the problem to arise? What have others said and done about the problem? What is the most effective way to tackle it? The proposed solution is based on currently available legal doctrines and practice and strikes a balance between investors’ and States’ interests.
