About the Contents of the World Arbitration Reporter:

National Arbitration Country Reports – Volume 1, 1A, and 1B Almost every country now has domestic arbitration laws. Even if a nation is a signatory to an international convention, domestic law affects the conduct of arbitration within that country and, to a lesser extent, the enforceability of a foreign award. This is the only resource to provide and compile the full text of laws (Appendices) from more than 100 countries and to also include such an extensive array of commentary and analysis on arbitration law and practice from around the world.

National Arbitration Institutions – Volume 2 As national arbitration institutions have proliferated and grown, they are more and more frequently being named in international agreements. This section covers the full text of each institution’s rules and provides extensive commentary and analysis on each institution and its rules in practice.

International Arbitration Institutions – Volume 3 International arbitration institutions have led the way in rulemaking for international commercial arbitration. The institutional rules and commentary compiled in this easy-to-use reference are those promulgated by the institutions most often named in international agreements. This is the only resource to compile such an extensive array of commentary and analysis along with the full text of each set of rules.

International Arbitration Treaties, Bilateral and Regional Agreements – Volume 4 Treaties protect the integrity of international arbitration by ensuring that signatory countries can depend on recognition, confirmation, execution and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. A country’s ability to do business with the international investment community may well depend on whether they have acceded to a particular convention. This section provides the full text of the major treaties (including bilateral and regional agreements) used in practice along with extensive commentary and analysis by leading authorities.
