Cambridge Compendium of International Commercial and Investment Arbitration. (3 Volumes)

Edited by Stefan Kröll, Andrea Bjorklund and Franco Ferrari

ISBN13: 9781108378406

Conceived as an encyclopedia of arbitration, the Compendium sets out entries for the foundational principles and concepts that underpin the discipline. Each entry adopts a holistic view, addressing core concepts from both the commercial and the investment arbitration perspective, and concentrating on the fundamental issues rather than on the solutions adopted in any single jurisdiction. The result is a genuinely cross-border, transnational resource.

This structure allows practitioners and scholars to identify the commonalities and the differences between commercial and investment arbitration, to trace where cross-fertilisation has occurred, and to assess its consequences. In doing so, the Compendium promotes a culture of international arbitration that treats both branches as part of a single whole, while respecting the distinct features of each.

Questions & Answers

What is the Cambridge Compendium of International Commercial and Investment Arbitration?
It is a three-volume encyclopedic reference work, edited by Stefan Kröll, Andrea Bjorklund and Franco Ferrari and published by Cambridge University Press, containing entries on the foundational principles and concepts of international arbitration, treated from both a commercial and an investment perspective.

How does it differ from a standard arbitration treatise?
Most works treat commercial arbitration and investment arbitration separately, and most are anchored in a single jurisdiction. The Compendium is organised by concept rather than by jurisdiction, and each entry examines the concept across both branches — allowing the reader to see where the two systems converge, where they diverge, and where doctrine has migrated from one to the other.

Who should read it?
Arbitration counsel and arbitrators, litigators in cross-border commercial and treaty disputes, in-house legal departments, academics, and law and institutional libraries building a core arbitration reference collection.

What topics does it cover?
Fourteen parts covering foundations, public law questions, stakeholders, applicable law, jurisdiction, the arbitral tribunal, procedure, the role of state courts, awards, post-award issues, legal concepts, areas of concern, related fields, and EU law and arbitration.
