U.S. International Investment Agreements
Product DescriptionU.S. International Investment Agreements is the definitive interpretative guide to the United States' bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) with investment chapters. Providing an authoritative look at the development of the BIT program, treatment provisions, expropriation, and other provisions, Kenneth J. Vandevelde draws on his years of investment treaty and agreement expertise as both a former practitioner and a scholar. This unique and well-organized book analyzes the development of U.S. international investment agreement language and strategy within their historical context. It also explains the newest changes to the model negotiating text (US Model BIT 2004) and additional treaties.About the AuthorAfter graduating from Harvard Law School, Professor Ken Vandevelde practiced law for three years with the Washington, D.C., law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Kampelman and then joined the Office of the Legal Adviser at the U.S. Department of State.
