International Arbitration

This book was written by two internationally known experts in arbitration both as academics and as practitioners. The third edition has been completely revised, amended and updated. Concise yet comprehensive, it describes and analyzes the law and practice of international arbitration by comparing numerous jurisdictions as well as various rules of arbitral institutions. While Swiss law and Switzerland as a place of arbitration remain a focus, comparative overviews are separated from the sections on Swiss law, allowing international readers to use them as a stand-alone source. The new edition is an introduction for students and at the same time an overview for practitioners involved in arbitration (or recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards) in Switzerland. The much expanded third edition includes, among others, new chapters on sports and investment treaty arbitration.
