Book SynopsisAs in its first edition, this book traces the contours of select US common law doctrinal developments concerning international commercial arbitration. This new edition supplements the foundational work contained in the first edition in order to produce a broader and deeper work. The author explores how the US common law may help bridge cross-cultural legal differences by focusing on the need to address these contrasting approaches through the nomenclature and goal of securing equality between party-autonomy and arbitrator discretion in international commercial arbitration. This book thus focuses on the common law development of arbitrator immunity, as well as the precepts of party-initiative and autonomy forming part of the US common law discovery rubric that may contribute to promoting expediency, efficiency and transparency in international commercial arbitration proceedings. It does so by carefully analyzing, among other things, the International Bar Association (IBA) Rules on Evidence Gathering, the Prague Rules, and the role of 28 USC. 1782 in international arbitration.Trade Review'A thoughtful and provocative analysis of a very timely subject - replete with keen observations and original analysis.' Gary Born, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, LLP'The US law of international commercial arbitration has commonly been viewed as less than fully coherent. This is regrettable, given the great importance of US law in this field and its proper understanding, including from abroad. The first edition of The American Influence on International Commercial Arbitration admirably filled the gap, but galloping legal developments require a fresh account. Happily, with a second edition of the book, the gap remains once again admirably filled.' George Bermann, Columbia University, director, Center for International and Commercial Arbitration'Pedro J. Martinez-Fraga begins his masterful work on the United States' influence on international commercial arbitration with the original vision of arbitration suggested by Goya's painting 'Duel with Clubs' in the Museo del Prado. The idea that arbitration is as blunt an instrument for 'dispute settlement' as two men using deadly force against each other - admittedly efficient, expedient, and final - has, he says, been eclipsed by the recognition that arbitration has much in common with judicial proceedings. His book is an argument, driven by a careful examination of history, case law, and statute, that the actions and views of common law courts has had much to do with this change. His is general (and rare) defense of what some would decry, namely the 'Americanization' of international arbitration. Readers should welcome this new up-to-date edition. It continues to be a valuable contribution to a healthy, ongoing debate.' José E. Alvarez, Herbert and Rose Rubin Professor of International Law, New York University'Pedro J. Martinez-Fraga's second edition of The American Influence on International Commercial Arbitration is a must-have addition to one's collection of books on international arbitration. Its thoughtful analysis of the common law development of different aspects of international arbitration leads to a depth of understanding and appreciation of complex issues that regularly arise in the field. Whether or not one agrees with all of Mr. Martinez-Fraga's conclusions, his insightful and rigorous analyses ensure that time focused on reading this book is time well-spent.' Margaret L. Moses, Mary Ann G. McMorrow Professor of Law, Director of International Law and Practice Program, Loyola University Chicago'This is, unmistakably, the book of a scholarly pragmatist, for whom the promise of international arbitration still holds resonance and who identifies the threats to its legitimacy with accuracy and intelligence.'

Book SynopsisThis book advances the idea that in order to address some of the criticisms against investor-state dispute settlement, a large majority of states have taken a ''normative'' strategy, negotiating or amending investment treaties with provisions that potentially give more control and greater involvement to the contracting parties, and notably the home state. This is particularly true of agreements concluded in the past fifteen years. At the same time, there is a potential revival of the ''remnants'' of diplomatic protection that are embedded in investment treaties since the beginning of the system. But why is the home state being brought back into a domain from which it was expressly excluded several decades ago? Why would a home state be interested in intervening in these conflicts? Is this ''new'' role of the home state in foreign investment disputes a ''return'' to diplomatic protection of its nationals, or are we witnessing something different?Trade Review'Whilst the role the state in the current debate on ISDS focuses on the role of host states, Rodrigo Polanco brilliantly reverses the prospect. Rigorously researched, the thorough legal analysis addresses the policy factors involved with a highly balanced sensibility. An essential read for all those who wish to acquire an intelligent and comprehensive view on the legitimacy and the prospects for reform of ISDS at the time of sovereignism.' Attila M. Tanzi, Università di Bologna and Associate Member of 3VB Chambers'This book highlights the nearly-forgotten 'other' player in the investor-state dispute settlement context: the home state. Backing his claims with both historical and empirical data, the author's analysis of the influence of the host state on the results of investor-state arbitrations through the centuries is elegantly convincing. Creative as well as informative, even readers well-acquainted with the subject of investment arbitration will enjoy reconsidering conventional wisdom in light of this volume's findings.' Krista Nadakavukaren Schefer, Swiss Institute of Comparative Law'Through a comprehensive historical analysis, this book introduces an innovative approach to the settlement of disputes from the perspective and main concerns of foreign investors' home States. The author deals with key legal features of the institution of diplomatic protection and describes home States' attitudes to regaining control of investment treaties and treaty interpretation. The book represents a valuable contribution to monitoring actual as well as future tensions among the main players in investor-state disputes.' Raúl Vinuesa, Universidad de Buenos Aires'In this important and engaging book, Polanco explores the history of investor state disputes and asks whether there is a revival of remnants of diplomatic protection. He demonstrates that home states are reclaiming control of investor-state dispute settlement but that this is a return of the state in a different way. This book is an impressive contribution to understanding the changing nature of investor state dispute settlement.' Andrew Newcombe, University of Victoria and Investment Treaty Arbitration'… beyond recommending this book for being well documented and sustaining an interesting thesis and several proposals worthy of discussion, it must be praised for its optimism and its constructive approach.' Yves Derains, The Journal of World Investment & Trade (JWIT)'This well researched book successfully attempts to analyse a trend which significantly shapes today's international investment law in a comprehensive way and from various perspectives. It will be definitely of value to academics and practitioners of international economic law, as well as those interested in an evidence of current state practice with regard to protection of economic interests of their subjects abroad.'

The rise and backlash against investor-state arbitration; 3. Home states and the prevention of investment disputes; 4. Home state role in ISDS together with the host state; 5.

Book SynopsisA unique collaboration between academic scholars, legal practitioners, and arbitrators, this handbook focuses on the intersection of arbitration - as an alternative to litigation - and the court systems to which arbitration is ultimately beholden. The first three parts analyze issues relating to the interpretation of the scope of arbitration agreements, arbitrator bias and conflicts of interest, arbitrator misconduct during the proceedings, enforceability of arbitral awards, and the grounds for vacating awards. The next section features fifteen country-specific reviews, which demonstrate that, despite the commonality of principles at the international level, there is a significant of amount of differences in the application of those principles at the national level. This work should be read by anyone interested in the general rules and principles of the enforceability of foreign arbitral awards and the grounds for courts to vacate or annul such awards.Trade Review'The most valuable feature of this excellent work is that it will be a very efficient and reliable source of information for lawyers coming from jurisdictions having different laws and practices on topics of great importance in the contemporary world of international arbitration. This will be a notable contribution to further development of this way of dispute settlement.' Professor Alexander S. Komarov, Member of the Presidium of the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation'This valuable new sourcebook provides a detailed look at the zones of intersection between state courts and arbitration including conflicts of interest, arbitrator misconduct, and the enforcement of arbitration agreements and awards. A notable feature of the book is the country reports on judicial control of arbitration in 15 major jurisdictions. The book will prove to be a useful reference for practitioners and a source of rich insights for students and scholars of comparative international law. I highly recommend it.' Dr. Michael Moser, Twenty Essex Chambers, Past Chairman, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre'The intersection between arbitration and courts is at a procedural crossroad that is critically relevant in both theory and practice. The analyses collected in this book offer a unique and invaluable guidance to those who find themselves at this intersection.' Tibor Várady, Emeritus Professor Emory University and Emeritus Professor Central European University'… the book is an interesting and enlightening collection of essays and will be of value to practitioners, scholars, and students looking for specific guidance on discrete issues as well as a broad overview of the international arbitration universe.'

Book SynopsisThis clear and original book provides a much-needed analysis of the doctrines of res judicata and abuse of process as applied to foreign judgments recognized in England for their preclusive effect. In particular, it examines the four preclusive pleas which are encountered in practice, namely: (i) cause of action estoppel; (ii) issue estoppel; (iii) former recovery per section 34 of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982; and (iv) the rule in Henderson v Henderson. So far as foreign judgments are concerned, the book examines separately the preclusive effects of foreign judgments recognized according to the English common law and related statutory rules, and foreign judgments which the English courts are obliged to recognize under the Brussels and Lugano Conventions. It also includes a discussion of the preclusive effects of judgments recognized under the proposed Hague Convention on Jurisdiction and Foreign Judgments in civil and commercial matters.Although the complex and techniTrade ReviewThe preclusive effect of foreign judgments in international law is a veritable minefield for lawyers.

Book SynopsisHow do we cooperate – in social, local, business, and state communities? This book proposes an Outcome-Based Cooperative Model, in which all stakeholders work together on the basis of trust and respect to achieve shared aims and outcomes. The Outcome-Based Cooperative Model is built up from an extensive analysis of behavioural and social psychology, genetic anthropology, research into behaviour and culture in societies, organisations, regulation, and enforcement. The starting point is acceptance that humanity is facing ever larger risks, which are now systemic and even existential. To overcome the challenges, humans need to cooperate more, rather than compete, alienate, or draw apart. Answering how we do that requires basing ourselves, our institutions, and systems on relationships that are built on trust. Trust is based on evidence that we can be trusted to behave well (ethically), built up over time. We should aim to agree common goals and outcomes, moderating those that conflict, produce evidence that we can be trusted, and examine our performance in achieving the right outcomes, rather than harmful ones. The implications are that we need to do more in rebasing our relationships in local groupings, business organisations, regulation, and dispute resolution. The book examines recent systems and developments in all these areas, and makes proposals of profound importance for reform. This is a new blueprint for liberty, solidarity, performance, and achievement.Table of ContentsPart 1 1. Evolution in the Means of Cooperation 2. Human Motivation 3. Trust 4. Morality and Values 5.

Book SynopsisThis open access book examines the multiple intersections between national and international courts in the field of investment protection, and suggests possible modes for regulating future jurisdictional interactions between domestic courts and international tribunals. The current system of foreign investment protection consists of more than 3,000 international investment agreements (IIAs), most of which provide for investment arbitration as the forum for the resolution of disputes between foreign investors and host States. However, national courts also have jurisdiction over certain matters involving cross-border investments. International investment tribunals and national courts thus interact in a number of ways, which range from harmonious co-existence to reinforcing complementation, reciprocal supervision and, occasionally, competition and discord. The book maps this complex relationship between dispute settlement bodies in the current investment treaty context and assesses the potential role of domestic courts in future treaty frameworks that could emerge from the States’ current efforts to reform the system.The book concludes that, in certain areas of interaction between domestic courts and international investment tribunals, the “division of labor” between the two bodies is not always optimal, producing inefficiencies that burden the system as a whole. In these areas, there is a need for improvement by introducing a more fruitful allocation of tasks between domestic and international courts and tribunals – whatever form(s) the international mechanism for the settlement of investment disputes may take.Given its scope, the book contributes not only to legal analysis, but also to the policy reflections that are needed for ongoing efforts to reform investor-State dispute settlement.Table of ContentsScope and objective of this report.- Why investment arbitration and not domestic courts? The origins of the modern investment dispute resolution system, criticism, and future outlook.- The interplay between investor-state arbitration and domestic courts in the existing IIA framework.- The path to reform of ISDS: What role for national courts?.- Conclusions and recommendations.
