International Arbitration and the Permanent Court of Arbitration (International Arbitration Law Library)

Offering a comprehensive study of the PCA including history, present status, and future prospects, this book is based on the author's PhD dissertation (2013: U. of Augsburg). This is a timely work in that the institution that laid the foundation for the League of Nations and the United Nations is coming forward in importance once again. Coverage encompasses the roots of public international arbitration, today's dispute settlement framework, current activities of the PAC, and prospects for the PCA in the 21st century, including changing roles. The final chapter offers a practitioner's guide to arbitration and discussion of the PCA's flexible yet consistent mechanisms. Annotation 2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
