International Arbitration: Law and Practice

International Arbitration: Law and Practice (Fourth Edition) provides a comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the basic principles and legal doctrines, and the practice of international arbitration. This book contains a systematic, but concise, treatment of all aspects of the arbitral process, including international arbitration agreements, international arbitral proceedings, and international arbitral awards.

The Fourth Edition guides both students and practitioners through the entire arbitral process, beginning with drafting, enforcing, and interpreting international arbitration agreements, to selecting arbitrators and conducting arbitral proceedings, to recognizing, enforcing, and seeking to annul arbitral awards. Written in clear and accessible language, it is suitable for law students, nonspecialist practitioners, and experienced professionals alike.

This highly-regarded work addresses both international commercial arbitration and the related fields of investment and state-to-state arbitration and is essential reading for any student of international arbitration and any practitioner seeking a complete introduction to the field. The Fourth Edition has been comprehensively updated to include relevant legislative amendments, judicial decisions, and arbitral awards. Among other things, the book provides detailed treatment of the New York Convention, the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, leading institutional arbitration rules (including ICC, SIAC, LCIA, AAA, and others), the ICSID Convention and ICSID Arbitration Rules, and judicial decisions from leading jurisdictions.

The Fourth Edition is integrated with the author’s classic treatise International Commercial Arbitration and with Kluwer online Born International Arbitration Lectures, enabling students, teachers and practitioners to explore particular topics in more detail.
