Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Volume 7 of the EYIEL focusses on critical
perspectives of international economic law. Recent protests against free trade
agreements such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
remind us that international economic law has always been a politically and
legally contested field. This volume collects critical contributions on trade,
investment, financial and other subfields of international economic law from
scholars who have shaped this debate for many years. The critical contributions
to this volume are challenged and sometimes rejected by commentators who have
been invited to be “critical with the critics”. The result is a unique
collection of critical essays accompanied by alternative and competing views on
some of the most fundamental topics of international economic law.

In its section on regional developments, EYIEL 7
addresses recent megaregional and plurilateral trade and investment agreements
and negotiations. Short insights on various aspects of the Transpacific
Partnership (TPP) and its sister TTIP are complemented with comments on other
developments, including the African Tripartite FTA und the negotiations on a
plurilateral Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). Further sections address
recent WTO and investment case law as well as recent developments concerning
the IMF, UNCTAD and the WCO. The volume closes with reviews of recent books in
international economic law.
