This book explores how State capitalism affects and reshapes
international investment law. It sheds new light on the various ways
States actively influence business and commercial activity globally by
using sovereign investors such as state-owned enterprises and sovereign
wealth funds or pension funds. With a diverse group of contributors from
a broad range of countries, the book offers a fresh and timely look into
the fundamentals of State capitalism, focusing in particular on its
actors and processes, the contextual elements that surround it, and the
new political economy that comes with it.
The book is essential reading for researchers, regulators, policy
makers, and practitioners interested in the different ways State
capitalism challenges and changes international investment law. As
geopolitical considerations increasingly affect global economic
activity, delving into the intricacies of State capitalism has never
been more timely.
