Law and Development
This book examines the concept of ‘development’ from alternative perspectives and analyzes how different approaches influence law. ‘Sustainable development’ focuses on balancing economic progress, environmental protection, individual rights, and collective interests. It requires a holistic approach to human beings in their individual and social dimensions, which can be seen as a reference to ‘integral human development’ – a concept found in ethics. ‘Development’ can be considered as a value or a goal. But it also has a normative dimension influencing lawmaking and legal application; it is a rule of interpretation, which harmonizes the application of conflicting norms, and which is often based on the ethical and anthropological assumptions of the decision maker. This research examines how different approaches to ‘development’ and their impact on law can coexist in pluralistic and multicultural societies, and how to evaluate their legitimacy, analyzing the problem from an overarching theoretical perspective. It also discusses case studies stemming from different branches of law.

Financing for Sustainable Development in International Investment Law
This book highlights the intersection between international investment law and sustainable development, particularly in the context of the right to regulate for public interest related to sustainable development. Addressing key challenges hindering the harmony between investment law and sustainable development, the book unveils a new methodology to assess whether a government measure or foreign investment contributes to sustainable development. The primary question driving this text is: how should investment treaty arbitration tribunals evaluate the sustainable development impact of both government measures and foreign investments affected by those measures? Beginning by establishing a conceptual framework around the right to regulate for public interest, the book also identifies limitations in the typical approach taken in investment treaty arbitration. Additionally, broader systemic constraints within international investment law concerning sustainable development are discussed. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of international investment law, economic law, and sustainable development.
