Rezensionen / Stimmen
Review of previous edition: 'This book is the best up-to-date introduction to international commercial arbitration, including investment arbitration, that is available ... Another engaging feature of Professor Moses's book is that it is clearly and attractively written and describes the problems of arbitration in a concrete and realistic way, taking account of real life practice. It is unusual to find a work by a law professor which is both a sound work of scholarship and which an arbitration practitioner finds accurately describes the real world in which he is working. In conclusion, this is an excellent current introduction to international commercial arbitration which will be invaluable both to students and to general practitioners seeking an understanding of international commercial arbitration.'
