International Commercial Arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism has gained acceptance in most Asian countried and in the past few years has grown exponentially. The increase in arbitration cases is likely to continue against a backdrop of increasing cross broder transactions and consequent cross border disputes. However, for practitioners new to this arrea of practice and students alike, there has been no authoritative text dealing with the Asia Pacific perspective of international arbitration to which they can turn.
This book focuses on the practice of international commercial arbitration in the Asia Pacific region. It examines the cultural differences influencing the Adian dispute resolution arena, covering developments in legislation, institutional arbitration rules and cases from the major international arbitration jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific region: Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.
