"International Arbitration: A Handbook, 3rd edition, guides the reader to the relevant laws and rules, and provides an overview of the most important legal and practical matters for each stage of the arbitration process. It focuses on the arbitration agreement; the commencement of an arbitration and appointment of the tribunal; the jurisdiction, powers and obligations of the tribunal; what must be done to achieve an effective procedure; and the arbitration award, its recognition and enforcement, and grounds for challenge. The third edition brings the handbook right up to date with entirely new chapters on two rapidly developing fields: ADR and investment treaty arbitrations. Greater emphasis is given to the ICSID arbitrations. Recent developments are covered, including new cases and legislation, and new institutional rules. Particular attention is given to the increasingly controversial subject of confidentiality in arbitration, and to of the practical implications of use of information technology in arbitration. The rules of the leading arbitral institutions are considered, including the ICC, LCIA, AAA/ICDR, and CIETAC.
