Dumberry: A Guide to State Succession in International Investment Law

Patrick Dumberry (Univ. of Ottawa - Law) has published A Guide to State Succession in International Investment Law (Edward Elgar Publishing 2018). Here's the abstract:
A Guide to State Succession in International Investment Law provides a comprehensive analysis of State succession issues arising in the context of international investment law. The author examines whether a successor State is bound by the investment treaties and State contracts which the predecessor State had signed with other States and foreign investors before the date of succession. Actors who are called upon to apply rules of State succession in investment arbitration cases will find this book a valuable source of practical guidance with strong theoretical foundations.
