The International Investment Agreements of the IGAD Member States

This book contributes to a growing body of research on International Investment Law reform models by examining and providing empirical evidence on the regulatory approaches and treaty making practices in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region. This is an eight-country trade bloc in Africa consisting of Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Somalia plus Rwanda and Burundi. This book aims to provoke reform that would lead to a rebalancing of International Investment Agreements in favour of host States. Thus, this book will inform the academic and business community as well as policy makers around the world on developments in international investment law in the IGAD region
