International investment law is a complex and dynamic field. Yet, the implications of its history are under explored. Kate Miles examines the historical evolution of international investment law, assessing its origins in the commercial and political expansionism of dominant states during the seventeenth to early twentieth centuries and the continued resonance of those origins within modern foreign investment protection law. In particular, the exploration of the activities of the Dutch East India Company, Grotius' treatises, and pre-World War II international investment disputes provides insight into current controversies surrounding the interplay of public and private interests, the systemic design of investor-state arbitration, the substantive focus of principles, and the treatment of environmental issues within international investment law. In adopting such an approach, this book provides a fresh conceptual framework through which contemporary issues can be examined and creates new understandings of those controversies.

Since the 1990s, conflicts within international law on foreign investment have arisen as a result of several competing interests. The neoliberal philosophy ensured inflexible investment protection given by a network of investment treaties interpreted in an expansive manner, which led to states creating regulatory space over foreign investment. However, NGOs committed to single causes such as human rights and the environment protested against inflexible investment protection. The rise to prominence of arguments against the fragmentation of international law also affected the development of investment law as an autonomous regime. These factors have resulted in some states renouncing the system of arbitration and other states creating new treaties which undermine inflexible investment protection. The treaty-based system of investment protection has therefore become tenuous, and change has become inevitable. Emphasising the changes resulting from resistance to a system based on neoliberal foundations, this study looks at recent developments in the area.

This Liber Amicorum is dedicated to an exceptional lawyer who laid many foundations of international finance and development law - Ibrahim F.I. Shihata - in commemoration of his retirement from the World Bank after 15 years of service as Vice-President (later Senior Vice-President) and General Counsel, and Secretary-General of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. Ibrahim F.I. Shihata's groundbreaking contributions to the theory and practice of international law arose out of his service in major international finance and development institutions. Among the positions he held prior to his service at the World Bank and ICSID were: Legal Adviser, Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development; Executive Director, International Fund for Agricultural Development; Director-General, OPEC Fund for International Development; and Chairman, International Development Law Institute. He shaped these institutions' legal architecture, and advanced these institutions' contribution to development. This Liber Amicorum brings together essays of incumbent or former general counsels or heads of the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Inter-American Investment Corporation, the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Islamic Development Bank, the Nordic Investment Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the OPEC Fund, the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, and other international finance and development institutions. Collectively with distinguished academics, jurists, and arbitrators in international tribunals, such as the International Court of Justice, World Trade Organization's Appellate Body, and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, well-known practitioners and colleagues of Dr. Shihata at the World Bank's Legal Department, they write about current and emerging issues in international finance and development law. These include issues such as the various institutions' special development assistance profile, the settlement of international investment disputes, foreign investment law, legal and judicial reform, the environment, the rule of law, corruption, accountability of international financial institutions, etc., reflecting the broad spectrum of the part of law to the development of which Ibrahim Shihata contributed tremendously.

Increasing international investment, the proliferation of international investment agreements, domestic legislation, and investor-State contracts have contributed to the development of a new field of international law that defines obligations between host states and foreign investors with investor-State dispute settlement. This involves not only vast sums, but also a panoply of rights, duties, and shifting objectives at the juncture of national and international law and policy. This engaging Research Handbook provides an authoritative account of these diverse investment law issues.
