International Economic Law Summary

International Economic Law: Text, Cases and Materials by Leila Choukroune (University of Portsmouth)

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.

International Economic Law Reviews

'Covering all of the diverse aspects of international economic law, this book is a comprehensive, accessible yet scholarly review that scholars and students of international economic law, as well as practitioners, will find an invaluable and thought-provoking resource. This work will surely become the standard reference textbook in the field.' Julien Chaisse, City University of Hong Kong, & President, Asia-Pacific FDI Network
'This textbook is a very welcome addition. It captures the critical components at just the right level of technical detail as it spans the many interconnected subfields of international economic law without losing the heart and soul of the field.' Colin B. Picker, Executive Dean, Faculty of Business and Law, University of Wollongong, Australia (and co-founder of the Society of International Economic Law)
'Professors Choukroune and Nedumpara have delivered a monumental treatise on the expansive and dynamic discipline of international economic law. The authors' deep understanding of international economic law is reflected in their close attention to emerging issues and timely debates while deftly explaining complex facts and difficult legal concepts. The authors provide a solid theoretical foundation for the many treaty-based rules and legal judgments, bringing life to legal principles which cut across the broad field's interrelated sub-disciplines.' David Collins, The City Law School, City, University of London
'This wide-ranging text comprehensively covers international economic law not only in the traditional areas but in the new areas relating to the digital economy, trade finance and fisheries subsidies. It combines practical issues with the theoretical bases of the subject effectively, and deals with fundamental debates, fairly stating the different viewpoints. It deserves to be used widely as the standard text for the understanding of the subject.' M. Sornarajah, Emeritus Professor of International Law, National University of Singapore
'This comprehensive, up-to-date and interdisciplinary textbook offers refreshing 'Asian perspectives' on almost all fields of modern international economic law, distinguishing it from previous textbooks written by American and European authors with different (e.g. neo-liberal and ordoliberal) perspectives. It offers an indispensable source of knowledge and inspiration for understanding and better developing international economic law in times of global health, environmental and digital economy challenges, and related governance crises.' Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann, European University Institute (Florence) and World Trade Organization (Geneva)
'International Economic Law by Professor Choukroune and Professor Nedumpara delivers what it promises. Despite having a broad title and scope, this new textbook does not lose attention to detail, and breaks down with precision long-lasting and new issues in international economic law. From trade law to investment, from finance to fisheries subsidies, from development to the digital economy, in International Economic Law, practitioners, academics, business actors and students will find all the necessary tools to understand and analyse the contemporary challenges surrounding this relatively new branch of international law.' Gabrielle Marceau, Senior Counsellor WTO Secretariat
'This comprehensive, well-organised volume on international economic law is an excellent resource for teaching and scholarship. It combines clear explanation, helpful figures and excerpts, good summaries, review questions, exercises and lists of further reading.' Gregory Shaffer, Chancellor's Professor, University of California, Irvine School of Law
'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
