NYU School of Law’s Intesa Sanpaolo Center is very pleased to announce the publication by Edward Elgar Publishing of the Concise Encyclopedia of International Commercial Arbitration, which the Center’s Executive Director, Franco Ferrari, the Clarence D. Ashley Professor at NYU School of Law, and Professor Friedrich Rosenfeld have co-edited. This volume, which is part of the Elgar Concise Encyclopedias in Law (https://lnkd.in/dUxpMWVd), provides authoritative and accessible guidance on a wide range of arbitration-related topics.
Like the other titles in the series, the Concise Encyclopedia of International Commercial Arbitration presents a broad yet carefully curated collection of entries authored by leading academics and practitioners. The result is a concise and accessible overview of each topic, designed to be of use to both experienced professionals and newcomers to the field.
The entries cover the full range of issues that may arise throughout the life cycle of an international commercial arbitration, from the pre-arbitration phase to the post-award stage. Special attention is given to fundamental instruments such as the 1958 New York Convention, the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, and the IBA Guidelines on conflicts of interest, party representation, and the taking of evidence.
The co-editors are especially proud to highlight the rich diversity of the contributors to this volume. The authors bring a wide range of perspectives and experiences that greatly enhance the depth and scope of the Encyclopedia. This diversity is reflected in many dimensions, including gender – with strong representation across the gender spectrum, age – combining the insights of both emerging voices and known experts in the field, geography – featuring contributors from numerous jurisdictions and legal traditions across the globe, professional roles – including leading academics, practicing arbitrators, counsel, and institutional representatives, stages of career development – ranging from early-career professionals to established authorities, ensuring a balanced and forward-looking perspective.
Together, this diverse authorship has created a dynamic and multifaceted body of work that, hopefully, will serve as a valuable resource for the international arbitration community.
