Traditional studies of actors in international investment law have tended to focus principally on arbitrators, claimant investors and respondent states, leaving a number of other seminal actors outside the main scope of this field of law, a view that was duly reaffirmed as the event unfolded. This book presents the first critical review of these less frequently addressed stakeholders in international investment law. Focusing on private actors, including but not limited to lawyers, experts, funders, civil society, the media and scholars, the book highlights the variety of actors that help shape international investment law and demonstrates how best to manage their interactions in order to achieve synergies and enhance the legitimacy of this pluralistic field.

This edited volume published by Springer brings together a selection of peer-reviewed chapters that were presented and discussed at the International Colloquium on “Actors in International Investment Law: Beyond Claimants, Respondents and Arbitrators”. The Colloquium took place at the University Paris II Panthéon-Assas on the 26th and 27th of September 2019 and was hosted by Catharine Titi, Katia Fach Gómez and Anastasios Gourgourinis.
