12 As has been suggested by Caroline E. Foster in her review of the book, the most negative effect of a purely ‘review’ based thinking is that it ‘may reduce international law by taking the focus away from these negotiated balances of interest between sovereigns. In focusing instead on the relationship between the private entity that has experienced damage and the State alleged to have caused this, it externalises broader international law. Principles and rules from flanking subfields of international law are more likely to be perceived as irrelevant, rather than being integrated into tribunals’ reasoning’, see Foster, supra note 1.
