The second edition of International Investment, Political Risk and Dispute Resolution examines the complex legal framework governing the protection of foreign investments from political risk. It provides an in-depth analysis of key issues such as structuring investments to reduce exposure to political risk, political risk insurance, state responsibility, investment treaties, and investor–state arbitration.

Since the first edition was published in 2005, these topics—particularly investor–state arbitration—have gained significantly greater attention. This edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect numerous new arbitration awards and the substantial body of commentary that has emerged in the field. The authors also assess recent theoretical developments in investment protection, alongside some of the most challenging arbitral decisions and updated practical guidance on procedural remedies available to investors facing political risks.

Designed for a broad readership, the book serves as an accessible introduction for non-specialist practitioners seeking to understand international law related to political risk. It is equally suitable for undergraduate students and graduates intending to specialize in international investment law.
