Abstract

This book, which expands considerably on the author's PhD thesis undertaken at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" under the guidance of Prof. Andrea Gia- rdina, fills a vacuum in Italian legal literature. Although Italy is among the most ac- tive industrialized countries among BIT (Bilateral Investment Treaties) signatories, and several ICSID cases have involved Italian investors, there has so far been a lack of up-to-date literature either covering the subject matter in general, or focusing on the Italian treaty practice in particular. The book covers all the various aspects of BITs systematically, putting them in an evolving perspective - from custom- ary protection of foreign property to the failed attempts to establish a multilateral regime. The six central chapters deal accordingly with BIT scope of application, admission, treatment, transfer of capital and revenues, protection against non-com- mercial risks (i.e. basically against expropriation), and dispute settlement. Although BITs tend to be drafted in a repetitive structure, their provisions are not identical, which poses problems when trying to derive from them common principles in certain matters, or when considering their provisions as an example of broadly recognized principles.
