Encyclopaedic coverage of the fundamental issues and concepts of commercial and investment arbitration, offering a holistic view on the topic.

The Compendium, like an encyclopedia, contains entries on the foundational principles and concepts underlying both commercial and investment arbitration. It has brought together many of the leading and emerging voices in the field from both academia and practice, who outline the central approaches taken in respect of the topics addressed.The Compendium, like an encyclopedia, contains entries for most of the foundational principles and concepts underlying arbitration. Each entry takes a holistic view of international arbitration, as they tackle core concepts from both a commercial and an investment arbitration perspective, focusing on the fundamental issues underlying the various topics rather than on the solutions adopted in any particular jurisdiction, thus making the Compendium a truly cross-border, transnational resource. This innovative approach will allow readers to identify the commonalities as well as the differences between commercial and investment arbitration, whether and where cross-fertilization has taken place and what consequences it can have. This approach allows the Compendium to be a tool in promoting the creation of a culture of international arbitration that considers commercial arbitration and investment arbitration as part of a whole but with certain distinct features particular to each.
