Review:

The book will be an ideal first port-of-call for detailed and accessible information on a particular country's investment protection and dispute resolution framework, its track record in investment disputes and a useful aid for making comparisons. It offers a unique analysis of legal frameworks and case precedents demonstrating how investment protections have evolved in the region, and is sure to interest corporate representatives, policymakers, transactional and disputes-focused counsel, non-governmental organisations, arbitral institutions, academics and all interested in the past, present and future of Latin America."- Clifford Hendel, Global Arbitration Review
