Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.

This Advanced Introduction provides the first concise and integrated exploration of the five core sub-fields of international economic law (IEL) (trade, investment, money, finance, and tax). Gregory Shaffer and Michael Waibel assess the contested principles, concepts, and contemporary challenges of IEL.

Key Features:

Brings together diverse perspectives to outline potential pathways for reform
Examines binding law as well as non-binding instruments and mechanisms with significant impacts on private cross-border economic activity
Analyses how these five core sub-fields implicate other areas of law, such as intellectual property, competition, labour, and environmental law
Addresses critical issues and challenges in comparative chapters on governance and dispute resolution, liberalization and market access, non-discrimination, fairness, and state regulatory autonomy

This insightful Advanced Introduction is an excellent resource for students and scholars of IEL across its sub-fields. It is also a useful guide for policymakers and lawmakers interested in shaping and implementing IEL in light of contemporary challenges amidst considerable uncertainty.
