Adr, Arbitration, and Mediation: A Collection of Essays

The various developments and changes in the field of arbitration, coupled with the large sums and important issues which are so often at stake in them, mean that a new book providing a comprehensive overview on the topic from an authoritative source is not merely very welcome: it is positively needed by professionals involved in arbitration and their clients. It is hard to think of an organisation better qualified to sponsor such a book than the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, with its enormous experience and authority in the field. It is also hard to conceive of a more impressive and well qualified group of contributors to such a book than the list of people who Julio César Betancourt and Jason A. Crook have included in this volume.

International Commercial Arbitration is the fastest growing dispute settlement discipline. The complexities surrounding its regulatory framework combined with an ever-increasing — and constantly evolving — set of acts, rules, guidelines, protocols, regulations, national legislation, international treaties, and so on may appear daunting at first glance. This ""collection of documents"" or ""supplementary material"" is designed to provide the essential reading for all those who are eager to pursue a career in international arbitration. It will also appeal to arbitration practitioners wishing to have easy access to over 700 pages of arbitration-related resources.
