From Russia With ... Well, Frankly, A Bit of Concern
Getting paid on an expropriation claim is difficult in the best of circumstances, even when the sovereign wants to appear hospitable to foreign investors. Russia under Vladimir Putin is not so interested in seeming hospitable. This week, we discuss the famous Yukos litigation with Paul Stephan (Virginia), whose expertise spans international law, international finance, international tax, contracts, and other fields. We also talk about Paul’s forthcoming book on what the future holds for the international legal system.
