Reviews and Awards
"In Corruption in International Investment Arbitration, Dr Llamzon addresses one of the most interesting and complex emerging issues in investment law. ... Dr Llamzon's thoroughly-researched work not only undertakes a detailed review of the current state of the law but also provides perceptive insights into the issues that will be at the heart of the future development of this increasingly important topic in investment arbitration. This ground-breaking book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in corruption in international investment law, and will undoubtedly become a defining work in the field for both practitioners and scholars." -Peter Tomka, President of the International Court of Justice
"This book deals with international investments tainted by corruption and with the fate of such investments in international arbitration. [Llamzon's] work is elegantly, concisely and precisely written. It dispenses with the customary show of moral indignation which so often - and to no avail - accompanies a phenomenon which must have existed from time immemorial but has hit the limelight with the constant growth of international investment and the all-pervading presence of modern means of communication. The book is impeccably researched and deserves a place in the libraries not only of those professionally involved with foreign investment, but all those interested in the phenomenon of corruption in international business." -Lucius Caflish, United Nations International Law Commission
"Dr. Llamzon's study of Corruption in International Investment Arbitration is a searching, lucid and unmatched analysis of a sensitive problem of great practical importance." -Stephen M. Schwebel, former Judge of the International Court of Justice
"Corruption in International Investment Arbitration is an excellent resource that will be relevant not only to students of investor-state arbitration but to all those who have an interest in the legal and policy debates surrounding the efforts to combat corruption." -Stanimir Alexandrov, American Journal of International Law
