'In The ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement: The Regionalization of Laws and Policy on Foreign Investment, Julien Chaisse and Sufian Jusoh provide analysis --unmatched in scope and detail -- of ACIA's role in supporting the development of the ASEAN Economic Community. This contribution will serve as an invaluable resource for policymakers, business leaders, lawyers, and scholars interested in the development of investment law and policy in Asia.'

'Julien Chaisse and Sufian Jusoh take up the formidable challenge of unpacking the ingredients of the Asian ''noodle bowl'', delivering a comprehensive book that synthesizes the convoluted investment legal standards pertaining to the ASEAN into an intelligible discourse. Throughout, they offer insight into the design and purpose of this model of economic integration, as well as its impact on the rights of investors from states neighbouring the ASEAN region. This volume serves as a reliable and practical guidebook that will edify any reader interested in the subject matter.'

The international law of foreign investment is one of the fastest growing areas of international economic law and policy which increasingly rely on large membership investment treaties such as the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA). This book comprehensively examines the role of this specific international treaty on investment and situates it in the wider global trend towards the regionalisation of laws and policy on foreign investment.

Considering the state of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015 and its transformation until 2025, Julien Chaisse and Sufian Jusoh illustrate the pivotal role ACIA has to play in future international investment law negotiations and the benefits to ASEAN and third country investors and their investments. Collective commitment to a common standard contributes to depoliticize any potential conflict between individual investors and host states making the agreement particularly crucial to discussions involving ASEAN member states and between ASEAN and Dialogue Partners as well as to investment decisions including investment liberalization and investment facilitation.

Offering the first detailed analysis of ACIA and its applications, this book will prove essential reading for legal practitioners in the field of international investment law as well as researchers and students studying the ASEAN Economic Community and its contemporary moulding.
