The Yearbook also delves into the concept of FET and its application to investment protection cases.

Public Interest and Sustainable Development

It explores the legal frameworks that allow states to regulate in the public interest, including environmental protection, public health, and the promotion of social welfare. The volume also examines the tensions between investor rights and the pursuit of sustainable development objectives.

Case Studies and Comparative Perspectives

The European Yearbook of International Economic Law Volume 35 presents a wealth of case studies and comparative perspectives from around the world. It analyzes recent investment arbitration cases involving public actors and compares the approaches taken by different jurisdictions in addressing issues of state responsibility, expropriation, and FET.

This volume of the European Yearbook of International Economic Law is an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working in the field of international investment law.
