The book considers the ways in which the international investment law regime intersects with the human rights regime, and the potential for clashes between the two legal orders. This book sets out the nature and the scope of the right to regulate in current international investment law and goes on to set out methods which could be employed to allow states to exercise their right to regulate while at the same time providing investors with legal certainty.

The book serves as a valuable tool, an added perspective, for academics as well as for practitioners dealing with aspects of international investment law.
