The reports and commentaries in this volume are a clear reflection of the changes in the world economic and political structure. They contain both general overviews of the current situation as well as detailed observations. The rapporteurs and commentators were selected from legal systems and institutions where international commercial arbitration is firmly established, as well as from legal systems where the former tentative position of international commercial arbitration is only now being strengthened by means of acceptance by governments, ratification of multilateral arbitration Conventions, enacting of new legislation, and the establishment of new arbitral institutions. A subscription ensures you will receive all future volumes automatically.
