India and Investor-State Dispute Settlement

Ranjan explores the two competing narratives of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and focuses on the six ISDS cases India lost. This book argues that India's ISDS story resembles the Yukos narrative where investors are allowed to hold States accountable for abuse of public power.
