Description
This indispensable book offers a concise comparative introduction to international commercial arbitration. With reference to recent case law from leading jurisdictions and up-to-date rules revisions, International Commercial Arbitration provides a comparative analysis of the issues raised in arbitration, from the time of drafting of the arbitration clause to the rendering of the arbitral award and the post-award stage.
Combining perspectives from both practice and academia, Franco Ferrari, Friedrich Rosenfeld and Consultant Editor John Fellas examine all the key points of international commercial arbitration. After introductory remarks on the applicable normative framework, the book covers arbitration agreements and their enforcement, the initiation of proceedings and the constitution of the tribunal, the taking of evidence, issues arising in complex arbitrations, as well as the award and the post-award regime.
Scholars and students of international commercial arbitration across the globe will find this book invaluable for its comparative analysis. It will also be most useful for arbitration practitioners and judges interested in learning how jurisdictions differ in their approaches to arbitration proceedings.

Reviews / Votes
'Anyone interested in arbitration law should acquire this excellent work of reference, which is a valuable and up-to-date contribution to this field that is progressively expanding around the globe.' -- Yagmur Hortoglu, Rabels Zeitschrift fuer auslaendisches und internationales Privatrecht 'This work is probably one of the most readable and comprehensive texts on international arbitration that I have personally come across. Its coverage is wide-ranging and yet organised in a simple logical manner. The authors have done a marvellous task in distilling complex judicial decisions into bite-size learning points. I commend this work to all students and any practitioner eager to get a strong grasp of the subject before entering the international arbitration arena.'More details
