I co-edited the book with Christoph Herrmann, a colleague and, more unusually, a long-standing friend. It collects the work of more than 100 contributors. 75 chapters, grouped in 6 parts, examine the institutions, agreements, and rules that define the field.

That includes the operations of global organizations such as the #WTO, #IMF, #ICSID, #ILO, and #OECD, the practice of regional agreements such as the #USMCA, #RCEP, #AfCFTA, and the treatment of policy concerns such as labour mobility, digital trade, #SOE, and #AI.

The book began in 2020. It took time because it needed it. No such volume had existed before. That fact is more interesting than it should be.

It is intended for those who work inside the system, interpret its rules, teach its principles or question its assumptions. That includes scholars, policymakers, and researchers who need a clear view of what has been built and what has not.

Oxford University Press supported the project. The production team. Editorial work was carried out with the assistance of Patrick Abel, Isha Das, James Losari, and Kehinde Olaoye.

The US & China are using investment law not as a shield for investors, but as a sword for state power, argues @jchaisse in his latest column. What was once industrial policy has morphed into legal warfare with FDI governance driven by tech leadership goals on.ft.com/4l8Q3xa

1/10 The US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities is an unprecedented event that may prove to be transformational for Iran, the Middle East, US foreign policy, global non-proliferation, and potentially even the global order. Its impact will be measured for decades to come. 🧵
