"Arbitration and mediation in international business was first published in 1996 and was one of the first comprehensive studies on the practice of international business dispute resolution, covering both international commercial arbitration and the so-called ?alternative? techniques such as mediation. The book also provided an empirical analysis of how both arbitration and mediation are conducted in a crossborder context, along with a normative guide to the relative costs and benefits of these two methods. This second edition is not just an updated version of the first edition but a new book in itself: Benefitting from the contributions of two co-authors, the work has been enhanced by discussions of innovative tools for making settlement negotiations more effective, and by the in-depth analysis of practical techniques to integrate mediation and arbitration in international business. Also, a comprehensive new empirical survey was conducted in order to capture new trends in this rapidly developing field. The result is a ?must have? resource for anyone having to deal with potential conflict in international business relationships."--Publisher's website.

Those who wish immediate access to suggested language may turn directly to the Appendices. Those who wish to understand the analysis that leads to the suggested language should read the text."--Publisher's website.
Assembled from Dispute Resolution Journal - the flagship publication of the American Arbitration Association - the chapters in the Handbook have all, where necessary, been revised and updated prior to publication.

The Editors and the University of Houston Law Center are honored to collaborate with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and its international division, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), to continue the tradition of publishing an annual survey of important developments in arbitration and the law.

The book contains 176 case digests, together with citations and descriptive cross-references to more than 690 related decisions. We have arranged the case digests under the stages of the entire arbitration process - from the formation of the arbitration agreement to the challenge or enforcement of the arbitral award. Recognizing the important role of arbitration in the global economy, there is a separate chapter containing digests and cross-references to cases dealing with the unique issues presented in international arbitrations. Part Two, an entirely new feature, contains 100 digests of judicial opinions since January 2000 that discuss AAA arbitration rules. For ease of reference the cases are arranged in alphabetical order and are listed by the types of AAA Rules - Commercial, Construction, Employment and International - and by individual rule under each category. Thus the reader can quickly identify all the judicial decisions that discuss a particular AAA rule. Part Three includes selected articles addressing some of the hottest topics in domestic and international arbitration. The AAA Yearbook is the preeminent annual yearbook on Arbitration and Dispute Resolution in the United States. It is a required and necessary reference work for all who wish to stay on top of the latest trends, developments , cases and guidelines - accompanied by expert commentary and analysis - in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution.

This volume is the “go to” reference for the arbitration practitioner who needs to master the art of cross-examination in the international arena.

The Leading Arbitrators' Guide to International Arbitration Third Edition offers thoughtful advice and insights into the world of international arbitration from some of the most prominent and experienced international arbitrators in the world. The contributors are arbitrators from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. The contributors offer insights and advice on the way in which international arbitrations are carried out from the point of view of arbitrators reading pleadings and memorials and listening to witnesses and hearing arguments. The authors' discussions are intended to be thoughtful, insightful and useful - and perhaps, occasionally, iconoclastic. As a result, there may be instances in which the authors disagree with one another on certain points. This is to be expected for there are often many routes that can be taken to achieve a result. The book will be useful not only to persons who may serve as arbitrators in internatinoal arbitral proceedings but also to those who may, in their position as advocates, wish to persuade persons -- including, perhaps, the authors.
