Hindelang's book is a very thorough study, with ample references to primary and secondary material, especially the abundant literature in German which he makes accessible to English readers for the first time. It will be the first port of call for free movement of capital in general and cross-border investment protection in particular under European Union law. Its scholarly influence will also radiate beyond the free movement of capital to the other freedoms, especially the freedom of establishment.

Michael Waibel, International and Comparative Law Quarterly

...A remarkable piece. It bears witness to the growing interconnectedness of different areas of international law that have hitherto led lives in (splendid) isolation. In the present case, it is the growing interest in the intersection between international investment law, on the one hand, and EU law, on the other. The author's study is detailed and broadly covers both the relevant scholarly writings and the pertinent case-law. It would be hard to imagine a more thorough approach than Hindelang's. This book is not only a very valuable empirical study collecting and analyzing an enormous number of mostly ECJ cases, but also an impressive scholarly work containing very clear statements of the author's own assessment of the law.

August Reinisch, Austrian Review of International and European Law

Hindelang has presented a vividly written piece of academic craftsmanship. He argues strongly for a liberal understanding of the internal market as an internationally open market. His focus is on investors and not on a presumption in favour of State sovereignty...Hindelang builds a strong opposition against the current interpretation of the Treaty rules by the ECJ and probably the mainstream in German academic literature. His study is worth reading: a thorn in the flesh of the current doctrine.
