This book gathers peer reviewed papers from a November 2015 international conference held at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague. Contributors are investment lawyers, environmental lawyers, and experts in international law, as well as economists and political scientists; many are practitioners and policy makers sharing their own experience. They consider the connections between environmental law and investment law, specifically the interplay between environmental protection and the regulation of foreign investment. Part 1 introduces both branches of the law, touching on issues such as sustainable development, investor-state arbitration, and international responsibility for environmental damage. Part 2 examines the integration of environmental policies into international investment law around the world, in areas such as water rights and climate change policies. Part 3 contains international case studies, such as oil and gas projects in Azerbaijan, foreign direct investment in Indonesia’s mining industry, and Chevron-Texaco v. Ecuador. Part 4 offers a final chapter on the future. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
