Connects narratives of the past to the international regime protecting property and contract rights of foreign investors. Justifications sustaining discredited practices associated with colonialism, imperialism, and civilized justice resemble those offered in support of investment law. These linkages raise concerns about investment law's premises.
This book aims to connect narratives associated with the past to the international regime that protects property and contract rights of foreign investors. The book scrutinizes justifications offered to sustain practices associated with colonialism, imperialism, civilized justice, debt, and development, revealing that a number of the rationales offered in support of investment law disciplines replicate those arising out of this discredited past. By revealing these linkages, the book raises concerns about investment law''s premises. It would appear that the normative foundations for today''s regime reproduces discursive practices that are less than compelling. The book argues that citizens deserve something more than historically discredited reasons to justify the exercise of power over them – something more than mere pretext.
