Implementing International Economic Law

Edited by Aksar (international law, Maltepe U., Turkey), the four chapters of this text explore the relationship between international law and international economic law, presenting the case that the sources and mechanisms of international law play a crucial role in providing guidance for international judicial institutions in the field of international economic law. Following an introduction to the interdisciplinary nature of international economic law, its relationship with other branches of law, and its sources, individual treatments of international finance, trade, and investment law are presented. The World Trade Organization's Dispute Settlement System and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Dispute are focused on in particular as tools for the implementation of international economic law.
