Investments in Conflict Zones addresses the topical and underexplored role of international investment law in armed conflicts, disputed territories, and 'frozen' conflicts. The edited collection explores how these different conflict situations impact the application and intervention of international investment law and how the protection of investors can be reconciled with the politically charged circumstances and state interests involved. Written by a selected group of experts from different fields of international law, the volume moves beyond the confines of investment law, offering novel insights into its intersection with the law of armed conflicts, human rights law, the law of the sea, general international law, and national laws, including those adopted by de facto regimes which lack recognition as states.
