Expropriation is a hotly debated issue in international investment law. This book applies the insights of legal theory to analyse expropriation clauses in investment treaties, clarifying what expropriation is and how to apply the unspecific prescriptions in investment agreements.
Expropriation is a hotly debated issue in international investment law. This is the first study to provide a detailed analysis of its norm-theoretical dimension, setting out the theoretical foundations underlying its understanding in contemporary legal scholarship and practice. Jörg Kammerhofer combines a doctrinal discussion with a theoretical analysis of the structure of the law in this area, undertaking a novel approach that critically re-evaluates existing case-law and writings. His approach critiques the arguments for a single expropriation norm based on custom, interpretation and arbitral precedents within international investment law, drawing also on generalist international legal thought, to show that both cosmopolitan and sovereigntist arguments are largely political, not legal. This innovative work will help scholars to understand the application of theory to investment law and help specialists in the field to improve their arguments.

Jörg Kammerhofer is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and Privatdozent for international law and legal theory at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. His publications include Uncertainty in International Law (2010), and International Legal Positivism in a Post-Modern World, co-edited with Jean d'Aspremont (Cambridge, 2014).
