This comprehensive treatment of international trade and investment law, covering various regulatory and legal levels, convinces by outlining approaches to overcome the existing fragmentation of the legal framework. Advocating for a move towards extended multilaterism and improved dispute settlements mechanisms also allows to combat the past cyclicality of the rule- and decision-making processes.
