International Arbitration and EU Law

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'The Second Edition of International Arbitration and EU Law is a very welcome addition to the libraries of all practitioners, academics and observers (critical or otherwise) of international arbitration. It will be an indispensable tool for us all.' -- Christopher Greenwood, Magdalene College, UK 'Nikos Lavranos and Stefano Castagna should be commended for putting together the second edition of their book, dealing with what is surely the most fundamental existential issue facing international arbitration today: how can States' environmental obligations be balanced with investment protection? Should this be confrontation or cooperation? And can investment arbitration retain its legitimacy if it ignores climate change policies and goals? I have no doubt that this book will be of invaluable assistance to understand these fundamental issues, which are at the cross-roads between law and politics.' -- Alexis Mourre, MCL Arbitration, France 'An important and thoughtful addition to the field. Professor Lavranos and Dr Castagna have compiled a work particularly relevant for practitioners, with attention to up-and-coming issues in our industry. As EU law around arbitration continues to develop, this guide will surely stand out as instructive.' -- Gary B. Born, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, UK 'The intersection between EU law and international arbitration continues to raise interesting questions, which justify the necessity of having an exceptional book, like this one, to address the intricacies of this topic. Investment arbitration, in particular, has experienced, in the past years, complex questions of supremacy of EU law, the emergence of anti-suit injunctions in preventing intra-EU ISDS, in addition to the imminent creation of an EU-led Multilateral Investment Court. Nikos Lavranos and Stefano Castagna are capturing, in this second edition of the book, comprehensive analysis of these issues, essential for any practitioner in international arbitration.' -- Crina Baltag, Stockholm University, Sweden Acclaim for the first edition: 'The relationships between European law and international arbitration are both multifarious and entangled. [The Editors] have assembled a stellar group of experts who carefully analyze the many interfaces between European law and commercial as well as investment arbitration. A wide array of judicial actors have a say, be they domestic courts, European jurisdictions or arbitral tribunals, as well as those that will emerge in the future, such as the CETA Investment Court System. The present book is a critical resource to understand these relationships in their full complexity.' -- Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, University of Geneva, Switzerland 'A treasure trove for those, practitioners and academics alike, having to tackle any issue involving international commercial arbitration as well as investment arbitration that may have a link to Europe.' -- Franco Ferrari, New York University School of Law, US 'The relationship between EU law and international arbitration is extremely complex, especially for those who have never practiced EU law. This collection is a tremendous contribution to understanding why the two regimes increasingly overlap, and how (or whether) they can be reconciled. It is especially useful to understanding the evolving relationship between investment arbitration and EU law, which will certainly continue to be much discussed in the context of investment law reform and investor-State disputes. Readers who follow these discussions will be very well served by this volume.' -- Meg Kinnear, Secretary General of ICSID 'International Arbitration and EU Law is a tour de force that stands out among other publications in the sector. It features leading arbitration practitioners and academics as authors and covers, in the broadest possible manner, important topics at the intersection of international arbitration and EU law. A must for everyone working in this field.' -- Maxi Scherer, WilmerHale and Queen Mary University of London, UK
