A Sociology of International Investment Law applies methods associated with the sociologist Max Weber to illuminate aspects of international investment law - a regime made up of thousands of treaties that protect foreign investors from state action diminishing the value of their investments. By applying many of Weber's key themes associated with legal modernity - legitimacy, rationality, domination, bureaucracy, and charisma - the book conscripts tools of analysis that enable the testing of many of investment law's operating assumptions. A Sociology of International Investment Law Law is premised on the belief that theory informs practice and that enlisting aspects of Weber's work illuminates the contemporary practice of, and debates over, international investment law. Utilizing Weber's themes and methods, results in a deeper appreciation of the connections of international investment law has with classical social theory. The book also reveals how the field fails to measure up to many of the analytical challenges that Weber's sociological interventions provoke. This book offers an exploration of the commonalities, differences, and blind spots shared by this relatively new international legal field with one of the most influential theorists of modernity.

≫The Other Economist. Max Weber's Late Work and the Fiscal Constitution of a New German Democracy≪: In the midst of the Great War, Max Weber began to campaign vigorously for the centralization of parliamentary control over state finances. His profound knowledge of ≫political≪ economics and fiscal sociology served him well in this endeavor. In 1918/19, he condemned both, new forms of exploitation and old wealth, socialist revolutionaries and the reactionary feudal powers, advocating instead for a tax-based republic. His activism shaped all of his late writings, as this reinterpretation shows.
