The book also contains chapters on competition law, environmental law, and new chapters on intellectual property and thevarious forms of arbitration; demonstrating how these subjects fit into the framework of international economic law. Professor Lowenfeld brings to his task a lifetime of practice and teaching experience to produce a book that will be of use to international lawyers and non-specialists alike. | International Economic Law by Andreas F.
