Reconciling all fields of international economic law (IEL) and creating bridges between disciplines in a conceptual as well as practical manner, this book stands out as the first modern, comprehensive international economic law textbook. Containing a technically solid yet critically rich body of knowledge that spans disciplines from trade law to investment, from trade finance to fisheries subsidies, from development to the digital economy and other new-age topics, the book offers the widest possible coverage of issues in current international economic law. Positioning IEL as a truly global practice, the comprehensive coverage includes various treaty texts, landmark cases and new materials, and is supplemented by case studies, real-life examples, exercises and illustrations. The case extracts and legal texts are selectively chosen, with careful editing and serious deliberation to engage modern law students. Mini chapters show examples of interdisciplinary interactions and provide a window into the future disciplines of international economic law.

'Professors Choukroune and Nedumpara have delivered a monumental treatise on the expansive and dynamic discipline of international economic law. The authors' deep understanding of international economic law is reflected in their close attention to emerging issues and timely debates while deftly explaining complex facts and difficult legal concepts. The authors provide a solid theoretical foundation for the many treaty-based rules and legal judgments, bringing life to legal principles which cut across the broad field's interrelated sub-disciplines.' David Collins, The City Law School, City, University of London
