The book 'State Responsibility for Breaches of Investment Contracts' provides a comprehensive analysis of the international law of state responsibility for breaches of investment contracts. It examines the different types of breaches, the remedies available to investors, and the defenses that states can raise.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the international law of state responsibility. It discusses the sources of state responsibility, the different types of breaches, and the remedies available to injured parties.

The second part of the book examines the specific application of the international law of state responsibility to breaches of investment contracts. It discusses the different types of investment contracts, the obligations that states owe to investors, and the remedies available to investors for breaches of those obligations.
