Publisher Synopsis
In the case of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), history is biography if the historian is Dr. Antonio Parra. ... The investment arbitration community should be very grateful for iThe History of ICSID that it now has in hand. Monique Sasson, American Journal of International Law This is a thorough analysis of ICSID and its development that should be included in the libraries of international state investment law practitioners. Tim Martin, Journal of World Energy Law and Business a thoroughly worthwhile book: interesting, informative, practical, relevant and balanced. The book deserves a place in the libraries of all users of the ICSID and comparable systems, and of all serious students of the realities of international arbitration. Sir Franklin Berman QC, ICSID Review Antonio Parra provides the first in-depth examination of the development, negotiation and implementation of the ICSID Convention and rules in this text, and it is a fascinating look at the context in which the premiere international investment arbitration institution was created and operated in its first fifty years. Mr Parra is uniquely qualified to have written this book, and his insights are both an invaluable contribution to legal scholarship in the area as well as a most interesting read. Meg Kinnear, Secretary-General, ICSID This highly informative book is required reading for anyone who takes an interest in ICSID arbitration. Christoph Schreuer Parra's book provides a compelling account of the origins and development of an extraordinarily successful international institution that now stands at a crossroads arising in part from its own success. It will be an invaluable resource for students of ICSID's genesis and history. Moreover, by showing how ICSID got to where it is today, Parra's book provides an excellent resource for guiding the discussion about ICSID's future. Historians, practitioners and policy-makers alike will benefit from reading this book. Theodore R. Posner and Marguerite C. Walter, Dispute Resolution International Parra succeeds in in bridging the gap between black letter law and insider knowledge Matthew AJ Levine, Asian International Arbitration Journal Read more...
