Dear colleague,
 
Federico and I wanted to bring to your attention the publication of the booklet "Improving the international investment law and policy regime: Options for the future", commissioned by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. You can download a free copy from:
 
http://www.vcc.columbia.edu/files/vale/content/Improving_The_International_Investment_Law_and_Policy_Regime_-_Options_for_the_Future_-_Sept_2013.pdf . 
 
It discusses the key features of the international investment law and policy regime, identifies drivers for change, discusses critical issues affecting the regime, and lays out options for improving it.
 
We hope you will find it interesting.
 
Regards,
 
Karl and Federico
