Summary

Whereas most books on arbitration concentrate either on a particular national law or set of arbitration rules, this handbook combines descriptions of arbitration proceedings in various key jurisdictions with commentaries on the most important international rules and conventions. All chapters are written by practitioners and give both a thorough overview and an in-depth insight into specific issues affecting arbitration around the world.
