This fourth series of cases brought before the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration introduces some of the most important arbitration cases involving major construction companies from Europe and the United States during the past decade.

Although these awards were rendered in English; they were edited and commented by the prominent legal scholar, arbitrator, and lawyer Dr. Mohie Eldin I. Alam-Eldin.
