Founded in 1986, the ICSID Review—Foreign Investment Law Journal is a specialized periodical devoted exclusively to foreign investment law and international investment dispute settlement. The ICSID Review offers legal and business professionals an up-to-date review of the field and includes articles, case comments, documents, and book reviews on the law and practice relating to foreign investments as well as the procedural and substantive law governing investment dispute resolution.
Beginning in 2012, the ICSID Review will be published by Oxford University Press. This new partnership will enable subscribers to the ICSID Review to benefit from the full range of online functionality offered by Oxford Journals, including continuous publication, related article recommendations, and a fully optimized mobile site.

Professor McLachlan is Professor of Law at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. He is also an associate member of Bankside Chambers (Auckland & Singapore) and an overseas member of Essex Court Chambers (London).
