Included are contributions written by participants in the UNCITRAL Working Group on Arbitration and Conciliation on its current work on the requirement of a written form for an arbitration agreement, interim measures of protection and UNCITRALs Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation. Further contributions give leading practitioners views on illegality in the formation and performance of contracts or in the conduct of the arbitration, examining questions on how the arbitral tribunal should deal with these vexed issues and how forgery and fraud may be detected. The factors that lead to acceptance by parties of the decisions of arbitrators are dealt with in contributions on the psychological aspects of dispute resolution. The volume concludes with a series of articles on arbitration under investment treaties written by experienced arbitrators and practitioners, with special emphasis on ICSID and NAFTA and the emerging issues of transparency, accountability and review. Contains lengthy articles on the ongoing work of UNCITRAL on proposed amendments to the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and the recently adopted Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation Details the current thinking on the requirement of an arbitration agreement in writing and how this can be accommodated by the UNCITRAL Model Law and the 1958 New York Convention Addresses the granting of interim measures by arbitral tribunals and their enforcement by national and foreign courts Analyzes issues raised by illegality in the formation and performance of contracts and in the conduct arbitrations and provides a systematic overview of the answers given by legislation, arbitrators and courts Provides insight into the attitudes of arbitrators and parties regarding dispute settlement processes Addresses the changing public perception of arbitration under investment treaties","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50038514909457,"sku":"CIN0967775205G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0967775205.jpg?v=1751140751"},{"product_id":"edge-book-jonathan-maxwell-9781839525612","title":"The Edge","description":"We are at the edge, not the end, of history.    The world is reaching its limits and is at war over the critical natural resources that define them.    The economy, everyone and everything depends on energy, as well as the minerals and water needed to generate it. Everyone depends on food, which is being cut off by conflict over it. Competition for, and relentless consumption of, natural resources is manifesting itself on the global stage in the form of geopolitical conflict and climate change.    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which means, literally ‘on the edge’, signified a profound dislocation, a ‘hand-break turn’ for energy and foreign policy that has shone a global-scale spotlight on the issues of competition for resources, energy security, and the economic and environmental consequences of failure for countries, companies, and populations.    The Edge is about our limits, but also a turning point. Have we reached one now, why, so what, and what should we do about it?    The Edge seeks to explain ‘why’ the world is facing so many of the challenges ahead of it today, to ask ‘so what’, in terms of the implications for individuals, society and the planet, and what we can do about it. It seeks to establish a framework to explain what is happening in the world today. So, as new news emerges every day, such as the UK’s financial crisis, the European energy crisis, sabotage of gas pipelines, extreme weather events in the United States, the debates over climate action and Russian aggression in the Ukraine, we can recognise the patterns they fit, and their root causes.    The Edge sheds light on problems, in order to reveal solutions. One of our biggest problems, that we waste most of the natural resources that we depend on and complete for, with global geopolitical, economic and environmental consequences, is also the source of one of our greatest opportunities…    An important contribution. One of the huge comparative advantages of this book is the seriousness and knowledge about energy and efficiency. It explains how critical resource efficiency, relating to energy, but also to other scarce resources such as food, water, minerals, and time will be to managing the enormous geopolitical, economic, and environmental challenges in front of all of us today.         Lord Stern, Chair of the Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics, former Chief Economist of the World Bank, and head of the Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51450888323345,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51450888487185,"sku":"GOR014285076","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1839525614.jpg?v=1750724161"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-jonathan-maxwell.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
