The first edition “International Dispute Resolution – Selected Documents” already contained a comprehensive collection of documents on International Dispute Resolution (treaties, model laws, national laws, arbitration rules etc.). Now, a revised and extended edition has become necessary due to the fact that in the meantime some documents were updated and new ones entered into force. This new edition is also addressed not only to the students in our own LL. M. program but also to universities in general, practitioners, policy-makers and international lawyers.
Extract from the prior edition:
The Europa-Institut, as the editor, is the second eldest institution of its kind in Europe. More than 5.000 students from all over the world have been educated in the fields of European and International Law at the Europa-Institut since its foundation in 1951. Each year students from over 30 countries come to the one-year postgraduate master’s program “European and International Law” to study the legal, political, economic and cultural foundations of the European Union. The program is characterized by five special study units – European Integration, European Economic Law, Foreign Trade and Investment,
International Dispute Resolution and European Protection of Human Rights. It provides students with great freedom of choice regarding the courses they wish to attend and offers a high degree of specialization. The program can be completed entirely in English, entirely in German or in a combination of these and results in the award of the title Master of Laws (LL. M.) to its successful participants.
We decided to assemble our own collection series combining key documents for each respective field of the LL. M. program after recognizing that existing collections do not comply with the specific requirements necessary for the successful performance of our students. In attempting to fill these gaps we published four volumes so far – “International Dispute Resolution” as volume I, “EU Law” as volume II, “International Trade Law” as volume III and “Public International Law” as volume IV.
