* Dr. iur. candidate, UniversitAt Wien (Austria). I owe thanks to Christoph Schreuer, my
thesis advisor, for encouragement and support, Jose Alvarez for his inspiring lecture
and discussions concerning the topic during the Hague Academy Public International
Law Programme 2009, and Wolfango Piccoli for valuable insights into SWF
investment policies. Particular thanks go to Diana lonescu and Sara Bazoobandi for
sparking my interest in the topic, helpful comments on earlier drafts and a stimulating
discussion at the University of Exeter last May. I would further like to thank my
