Description

Volume 2 of the 9th edition of this magisterial work covers the transnationalisation of dispute resolution, especially international arbitration, and contains a critical analysis of the main challenges to its success, continuing credibility, and effectiveness. The volume distinguishes between commercial, financial, and foreign investment arbitration and concentrates on the status, role, and reasoning of international arbitrators, their limited powers especially in matters of public policy and in property matters, the threat of judicialisation, and the need to connect with mediation and a settlement ethos.
