Topics range from the impact of artificial intelligence to the role of international arbitration in restraining resort to unilateralism, protectionism, and nationalism. The contributors tackle such contentious issues as the following:
- time and cost;
- gender and cultural diversity;
- confidentiality vs. transparency;
- investor-State dispute settlement procedures;
- the proposed establishment of a permanent international investment court system;
- how cross-fertilisation across different disciplines may impact international arbitration;
- determining whether a document request seeks documents that are relevant and material to the outcome of a dispute;
- whether we would be better off if investment arbitration were to disappear; and
- implications for international arbitration of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
There is consideration of global issues that are likely to give rise to disputes in the future, including climate change, environmental protection, access to depleting water resources, energy and mining transition, and human rights initiatives. Several contributions focus on developments in specific countries (China, India) and regions (Africa, the Middle East).
Arbitrators, corporate counsel, and policymakers will appreciate this opportunity to engage with current thinking on key issues in international commercial and investment arbitration, especially given the diversity of thought presented by authors from all over the world.
