This monograph considers the ramifications of the legal regime that governs transborder capital flows. This regime consists principally of a network of some 3,000 investment treaties, as well as a growing body of arbitral decisions. Professor Alvarez contends that the contemporary international investment regime should no longer be described as a
species of territorial empire imposed by rich capital exporters on capital importers. He examines the evolution of investment treaties and investor-State jurisprudence constante and identifies the connections between these and general trends within public international law, including the increased resort to treaties (treatification), growing risks to the law's consistency (fragmentation), and the proliferation of forms of international adjudication (judicialization). Professor Alvarez also considers whether the regime's efforts to balance the needs of non-State investors and sovereigns ought to be characterized as global administrative law, as a form of constitutionalization, or as an increasingly human-rights-centred enterprise.
