V. Vadi, Cultural Heritage in International Economic Law (Leiden: Brill 2023), 523 pages, ISBN 978-90-04-34781-6 (hardback); ISBN 978-90-04-34782-3 (e-book), Open Access

Can cultural heritage be adequately protected vis-à-vis economic globalization? This book investigates whether and how international economic law governs cultural
phenomena by mapping the relevant legal framework, discussing the relevant disputes concerning cultural elements adjudicated before international economic ‘courts’ (namely the World Trade Organization
adjudicative bodies and investment treaty arbitral tribunals), and proposing legal methods to reconcile cultural and economic interests. It thus provides a comprehensive evaluation of possible solutions, including evolution of the law through treaty interpretation and reforms, to improve the balance between economic governance and cultural policy objectives.

V. Vadi, War and Peace—Alberico Gentili and the Early Modern Law of Nations (Leiden: Brill 2020) 592 pages, ISBN 9789004426030

This treatise investigates the emergence of the early modern law of nations, focusing on Alberico Gentili’s contribution to the same. A religious refugee and Regius Professor at the University of Oxford, Alberico Gentili (1552–1608) lived in difficult times of religious wars and political persecution. He discussed issues that were topical in his lifetime and remain so today, including the clash of civilizations, the conduct of war, and the maintenance of peace. His idealism and political pragmatism constitute the principal reasons for the continued interest in his work. Gentili’s work is important for historical record, but also for better analysing and critically assessing the origins of international law and its current developments, as well as for elaborating its future trajectories.

Reviewed by Mariangela La Manna for the Italian Yearbook of International Law (2022): As the title suggests, War and Peace is a very robust piece of scholarly work. In fact, not only does it share the title of Lev Tolstoj’s masterpiece, but also its sheer size. Though falling short of reaching the roughly 1500 pages the latter boils down to, Vadi’s War and Peace nonetheless amounts to 500 pages, regrouped under 8 solid chapters. More interestingly, the title appears to be relevant also in merit-based terms, as it points out in a very clear-cut manner the relevance of Gentili’s work not only for the law of war, but also for the law to be applied in peacetime … With a razor-sharp analytical mindset and a neat approach, liberated of any ideological hindrances or biases … Vadi is no apologist; far from it, she acknowledges the many ambiguities, inconsistencies and the frequent lack of clarity in Gentili’s writing and assesses such features in a very dry and objective manner…The pleasantness of the reading … does not hinder in the least the seriousness and credibility of a very mature and grounded study. The underlying research effort is solid and nothing short of impressive: a 52 page bibliography, built over years and years of work in libraries and research centres all over the world.’

Reviewed by Edward Guntrip for the 22 Melbourne Journal of International Law (2021): ‘War and Peace navigates the methodological challenges of conducting historical studies in international law to very good effect… Overall, War and Peace is well written and clearly structured, and Vadi consistently draws on the chosen themes to better understand Gentili’s works. The monograph evidences extensive archival research, including some materials that have been accessed for the first time. Vadi’s own translations of Gentili’s works in Latin ensure that his voice is present throughout the monograph. Although Vadi aims to present the material on Gentili in a manner that leaves the reader with the final decision as to Gentili’s worldview, there are times where Vadi’s preferred conclusion becomes apparent. Nonetheless, … Vadi remains open to opposing viewpoints throughout her discussions. Given these attributes, War and Peace will become a key reference point for those seeking to better understand Alberico Gentili’s life and his contribution to the modern law of nations.’

V. Vadi, Proportionality, Reasonableness, and Standards of Review in International Investment Law and Arbitration (Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar 2018) 316 pages, ISBN 978-1-785368578

International investment law is one of the most dynamic fields of international law, and yet it has been criticised for failing to strike a fair balance between private and public interests. In this valuable contribution to the current debate, Valentina Vadi examines the merits and pitfalls of arbitral tribunals’ use of the concepts of proportionality and reasonableness to review the compatibility of a state’s regulatory actions with its obligations under international investment law.

Reviewed by Andrea Sesin-Tabarelli for the 36 ASA (Swiss Arbitration Association) Bulletin 3/2018, 808: ‘The book offers a useful conceptual framework for policy makers, practitioners and scholars interested in the legitimacy and effectiveness of investment arbitration’.

Reviewed by David Collins for the 25(1) International Trade Law & Regulation (2019) 65–67: Of all the many books and articles written of late on the topic of proportionality and/or standards of review in international investment arbitration, this one is the best. Professor Vadi manages to orchestrate a complex assortment of sources from across a range of sub-disciplines including trade, human rights and general public international law, combined with an all-embracing review of the now extensive literature and growing body of case law. In so doing, she delivers a fresh perspective on the well-trodden field of methods of interpretation within investment arbitral practice by drawing upon the tension between public and private law adjudication and by challenging constitutional analogies. Her writing style is a study in clarity and deftness of organisation, making sense where others would have only worsened the muddled complexity of the jurisprudence.’ … These are vital and often unexplored matters in a field where scholarship tends to focus extensively on the case law. … Vadi is one of the world’s foremost commentators in the important field of international investment law, and this book is among her greatest contributions, offering an insightful and comprehensive overview of a subject which has attracted much attention from the academic world and practitioners alike in recent years. She is also a singularly gifted writer—there is no one, at least in academia, who can explain complex concepts as clearly and who can marshal original arguments as skilfully. Proportionality, Reasonableness and Standards of Review in International Investment Law and Arbitration is a book which will quickly become a leading resource and will be a source of many references as well as inspiration in others for years to come.’

Reviewed by Marcin Menkes, European Yearbook of International Economic Law (2019) 457-462: ‘Valentina Vadi, Professor at Lancaster University Law School is a prolific author who skillfully combines different fields of international law with international investment law… Vadi’s well established reputation in studies of the interaction of other fields of law with international investment law is acknowledged…. This time she invites us for another cross-country journey… the entire book is very well structured… I appreciate original contribution to the debate in a form of much interesting and much needed … narrative. Vadi’s book charts the development of IIL [international investment law] and as such it certainly can inspire the reader to look at the problem at hand from new angles and to broaden one’s perception.’

Valentina Vadi, Analogies in International Investment Law and Arbitration (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 2016) 320 pages, ISBN 978-1-107-09331-7;

Although investment treaty arbitration has become the most common method for settling investor-state disputes, some scholars and practitioners have expressed concern regarding the magnitude of decision-making power allocated to investment treaty tribunals. Many of the recent arbitral awards have determined the boundary between two conflicting values: the legitimate sphere for state regulation in the pursuit of public goods, and the protection of foreign private property from state interference. Can comparative reasoning help adjudicators in interpreting and applying broad and open-ended investment treaty provisions? Can the use of analogies contribute to the current debate over the legitimacy of investor-state arbitration, facilitating the consideration of the commonweal in the same? How should comparisons be made? What are the limits of comparative approaches to investment treaty law and arbitration? This book scrutinises the impact a comparative approach can have on investment law, and identifies a method for drawing sound analogies.

Reviewed by Niccoló Ridi for the British Yearbook of International and Comparative Law (2017): ‘There is much to be praised in this book. Its claims, supported by ample and accurate research, are compelling and its approach is quite innovative, as it goes beyond an investigation of the concept of analogy in international legal reasoning, rather focusing on how such analogical and comparative reasoning are to take place in the context of international investment arbitration … [T]his is a timely and valuable study, which will appeal to both practitioners and scholars alike. Through a masterfully crafted analysis, Vadi guides the readers through the intricacies of this topic, investigating the tensions between the concept of legal culture and the ‘invisible college of international lawyers’, and ultimately reminding international lawyers that the use of analogies and paradigms … has implications of considerable magnitude.’

Valentina Vadi, Cultural Heritage in International Investment Law and Arbitration (Cambridge/New York: Cambridge University Press 2014) 344 pages, ISBN 978-1-10-703848-6 foreword by Professor Bruno de Witte (Professor of EU law at the European University Institute and Maastricht University) [also in paperback edition ISBN: 9781316603475];

Can states adopt protectionist cultural policies? What are the limits, if any, to state intervention in cultural matters? A wide variety of cultural policies may interfere with foreign investments, and a tension therefore exists between the cultural policies of the host state and investment treaty provisions. In some cases, foreign investors have claimed that cultural policies have negatively affected their investments, thereby amounting to a breach of the relevant investment treaty. This study maps the relevant investor-state arbitrations concerning cultural elements and shows that arbitrators have increasingly taken cultural concerns into consideration in deciding cases brought before them, eventually contributing to the coalescence of general principles of law demanding the protection of cultural heritage.

Reviewed by Lucas Lixinski for the Netherlands International Law Review (Vol. 61, No. 3, 2014): ‘Vadi tells the story of how non-legal (economic) considerations could benefit from taking into account more of the law in this area, alongside its well-established values … equipped with a wonderfully rich set of cases … [this volume] will be influential in shaping the field for years to come.’

Reviewed by Loes Veldpaus for the Journal of Cultural Heritage Management and Sustainable Development (Vol. 5, No. 3, 2015): ‘This book very clearly and thoroughly discusses the legal aspects of foreign investment in a context of (urban) development, in relation to international cultural (heritage) law. A valuable analysis is undertaken to further the understanding of the state-of-the-art, showing how international cultural law potentially clashes with international investment law. Vadi reveals that, as the latter is generally more sophisticated, investment treaty tribunals more and more adjudicate cases that include elements of cultural and heritage value. Interestingly, in such cases arbitrators, in addition to pure economic value, increasingly take cultural value into account. The question remains if investment tribunals are the best places to settle disputes on cultural heritage – probably not. … Vadi concludes with a call for both international investment law and international cultural law to reflect the interest and values of a much wider range of stakeholders.’

Reviewed by Sebastian Green Martinez for the Israel Law Review (Vol. 50, 2017): ‘Through thought-provoking scenarios and forward-looking proposals, Vadi encourages the improvement of cultural governance. She clarifies the current status of public international law on the subject and presents valuable and clearly explained tools that are now at the disposal of investment arbitrators, practitioners, public officials, diplomats and researchers.’

Reviewed by Panayotis Protopsaltis for the Journal of International Arbitration (Vol. 35, 2018): 267–274: ‘[the author] present[s] a notably well-written critical overview of the current international law rules on investors’ protection’ and ‘examines the interplay between cultural policies and the protection of foreign direct investors …, while providing a systematic and comprehensive survey of the existing relevant arbitral case law.’

Vadi, Public Health in International Investment Law and Arbitration (London: Routledge 2012) 224 pages, ISBN 978-0-415-50749-3, foreword by Professor Francesco Francioni (Emeritus Professor of International Law at the European University Institute) [also in paperback edition ISBN 9781138025233];

Is a State free to adopt measures to protect the public health of its citizens? If so, what are the limits, if any, to such regulatory powers? This book addresses these questions by focusing on the clash between the regulatory autonomy of the state and international investment governance. As a wide variety of state regulations allegedly aimed at protecting public health may interfere with foreign investments, a tension exists between the public health policies of the host state and investment treaty provisions. Under most investment treaties, States have waived their sovereign immunity, and have agreed to give arbitrators a comprehensive jurisdiction over what are essentially regulatory disputes. Some scholars and practitioners have expressed concern regarding the magnitude of decision-making power allocated to investment treaty tribunals.

This book contributes to the current understanding of international investment law and arbitration, addressing the fundamental question of whether public health has and/or should have any relevance in contemporary international investment law and policy. With a focus on the ‘clash of cultures’ between international investment law and public health, the author critically analyses the emerging case law of investment treaty arbitration and considers the theoretical interplay between public health and investor rights in international investment law. The book also explores the interplay between investment law and public health in practice, focusing on specific sectors such as pharmaceutical patents, tobacco regulation and environmental health. It then goes on to analyze the available means for promoting consideration of public health in international investment law and suggests new methods and approaches to better reconcile public health and investor rights.

Reviewed by Michele Potestà for the European Journal of Risk Regulation (No. 3, 2013, 419–421): ‘The recent book by Valentina Vadi is a welcome contribution which fills a significant gap in legal scholarship, and which situates itself within those works aimed at exploring the “investment-and” problematics … In this sense, Dr. Vadi’s book could not have been more timely … The author makes a thorough analysis of the legal sources and case law, and suggests a number of methods and approaches to promote greater consideration of public health in international investment law … Public Health in International Investment Law and Arbitration is an original, well-researched and engagingly written book, in which the author challenges conventional wisdoms within the investment law field. One of the strengths of the book is its multidisciplinary approach. Rather than confining herself to a purely investment law analysis, Vadi looks also at the international law on public health and the relating literature, as well as at works from other social sciences, including economics, political science, sociology and behavioral studies. Within the international legal field, she shows to be at great ease in traversing different legal regimes (trade, public health, human rights). The critical analysis and thorough comparison of the jurisprudence of the dispute settlement bodies in the different fields is of particular interest … Valentina Vadi’s book provides a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between international investment law and public health and will thus become a valuable reference in the investment law literature … It will also provide a most useful tool for practitioners and arbitrators involved in investment disputes having a public health dimension. In an area where the risk of falling in excessive specialism and of drowning in technicalities is high, Vadi achieves to always discuss the issues at stake against their wider international law background, with a solid mastery of the wealth of topics discussed and a firm vision of the broader picture.’

A. Di Blase and V. Vadi (eds)The Inherent Rights of Indigenous Peoples in International Law (Rome: University of Rome III 2020), 327 pages, ISBN 9788832136920

This book highlights the cogency and urgency of the protection of indigenous peoples and discusses crucial aspects of the international legal theory and practice relating to their rights. These rights are not established by states; rather, they are inherent to indigenous peoples because of their human dignity, historical continuity, cultural distinctiveness, and connection to the lands where they have lived from time immemorial. In the past decades, a new awareness of the importance of indigenous rights has emerged at the international level. UN organs have adopted specific international law instruments that protect indigenous peoples. Nonetheless, concerns persist because of continued widespread breaches of such rights. Stemming from a number of seminars organised at the Law Department of the University of Roma Tre, the volume includes contributions by distinguished scholars and practitioners. It is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the main themes and challenges to be addressed, considering the debate on self-determination of indigenous peoples and the theoretical origins of ‘indigenous sovereignty’. Parts II and III explore the protection of indigenous peoples afforded under the international law rules on human rights and investments respectively. Not only do the contributors to this book critically assess the current international legal framework, but they also suggest ways and methods to utilize such legal instruments towards the protection, promotion and fulfi lment of indigenous peoples’ rights, to contribute to the maintenance of peace and the pursuit of justice in international relations.

Globalization and international economic governance offer unprecedented opportunities for cultural exchange. Foreign direct investments can promote cultural diversity and provide the funds needed to locate, recover and preserve cultural heritage. Nonetheless, globalization and international economic governance can also jeopardize cultural diversity and determine the erosion of the cultural wealth of nations. Has　an international economic culture emerged that emphasizes productivity and economic development at the expense of the common wealth?

This book explores the ‘clash of cultures’ between international law and international cultural law, and asks whether States can promote economic development without infringing their cultural wealth. The book contains original chapters by experts in the field. Key issues include how international courts and tribunals are adjudicating culture–related cases; the interplay between indigenous peoples’ rights and economic globalization; and the relationships between culture, human rights, and economic activities.

The book will be of great interest and use to researchers and students of international trade law, cultural heritage law, and public international law.

Reviewed by Walther Michl for the European Yearbook of International Economic Law (2016), 803–810: ‘The particular added value of the book as compared to other academic works is that it provides a comprehensive overview over a broad variety of issues arising at the interface between culture and international trade. The main factor contributing to its high quality is the choice of distinguished authors who had had previous experience in the field they treated. Moreover, the contributions fit well together within the different parts of the volume so that redundancies and duplications are largely avoided. An asset of particular value is the inclusion of generous bibliographies at the end of each article, which provide excellent guidance for further readings. The volume is of particular interest to all academics that are looking for a reliable starting point for further investigations in the area of trade and culture.’

In the age of economic globalisation, do art and heritage matter? Once the domain of elitist practitioners and scholars, the governance of cultural heritage and the destiny of iconic artefacts have emerged as the new frontier of international law, making headlines and attracting the varied interests of academics and policy-makers, museum curators and collectors, human rights activists and investment lawyers and artists and economists, just to mention a few. The return of cultural artefacts to their legitimate owners, the recovery of underwater cultural heritage and the protection and promotion of artistic expressions are just some of the pressing issues addressed by this book.

Contemporary intersections between art, cultural heritage and the market are complicated by a variety of ethical and legal issues, which often describe complex global relations. Should works of art be treated differently from other goods? What happens if a work of art, currently exhibited in a museum, turns out to have originally been looted? What is the relevant legal framework? What should be done with ancient shipwrecks filled with objects from former colonies? Should such objects be kept by the finders? Should they be returned to the country of origin? This book addresses these different questions while highlighting the complex interplay between legal and ethical issues in the context of cultural governance. The approach is mainly legal but interdisciplinary aspects are considered as well.
