International Arbitration: A Handbook [Hardcover]

This essential handbook on international arbitration has been updated to include a new chapter on investment treaty arbitration, detailing the kind of investments which are covered by investment treaties, persons to whom investment treaties apply, the rights commonly provided under investment treaties, ICSID arbitration and commonly encountered issues and practical considerations. Other additions to the latest edition include: multi-tiered arbitration clauses, confidentiality, interim measures and consumer arbitration.

This Third Edition is much expanded, and reflects the changing face of consensual techniques for the resolution of international disputes, as well reflecting the growth of bilateral, and multilateral investment treaty arbitration and the increasing concerns over the confidentiality of international arbitration.
