Editorial Reviews

"Herdegen delivers a plethora of arguments sustaining the view that a solid framework protecting core values in the field of IEL is already in force but can be built upon for further improvements in the international economic order. The subject of 'good governance' is broadly treated in this book (p. 158ss.). The norms and institutions of IEL are examined as to their capacity to promote human rights and the rule of law." - Peter Hilpold, University of Innsbruck, Journal of International Economic Law
