Impact statement: This review examines a scholarly work on the Fair and Equitable Treatment (FET) standard in international investment arbitration, particularly from the perspective of developing countries. The reviewer highlights how investment arbitration rules may affect state sovereignty, regulatory autonomy, and the ability of developing countries to pursue public-interest policies. By discussing the legal and policy implications of the FET standard, the review contributes to broader debates on fairness, accountability, and balance in international investment law. The piece is relevant to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in investment arbitration and global economic governance.
