By bringing novel insights from economics, the author deconstructs and decodes the contract-treaty interaction by showing that it is not only treaties that have an impact on the underlying contracts, but also those contracts have an effect on the way the open-textured treaty standards are interpreted. The originality of the argument is combined with an innovative interpretative methodology based on relational contract theory and transaction cost economics. Departing from the traditional emphasis of international lawyers on the text of investment contracts, the author shows instead that such contracts are first and foremost "economic animals" and the theory of obsolescing bargaining does not paint a full picture of the contract-treaty interaction". 410 0$aNijhoff international investment law series ;$vVolume 14. 606 $aInvestments, Foreign (International law) 606 $aInternational commercial arbitration 606 $aContracts$xPhilosophy 610 $aRelational contract theory 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign (International law) 615 0$aInternational commercial arbitration. 615 0$aContracts$xPhilosophy. 676 $a346.092 700 $aFlorou$b Aikaterini$01498929 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793918503321 996 $aContractual renegotiations and international investment arbitration$93724673 997 $aUNINA
