The Award in International Investment Arbitration

Abstract The Award in International Investment Arbitration is an unparalleled comprehensive study of the international investment award, whose aim is to serve as a unique reference work and an authoritative one-stop resource on the topic for both practitioners and academics. The book is interested in the award in a holistic manner: from award drafting to the procedural principles that govern it; from arbitral deliberations and tribunal dynamics to post-award challenges; from the role of gender in decision-making to the impact of tribunal secretaries. Rigorously written from an academic perspective, The Award in International Investment Arbitration puts the emphasis on the practitioners’ needs, presenting them with a careful selection of hands-on topics, such as fact-finding in complex disputes, the role of experts, and legal reasoning and persuasion. Sensitive to contemporary challenges, the book addresses both existing questions that have evolved over time and novel topics that have not yet received sufficient attention, such as the impact of technology on award drafting. The Award in International Investment Arbitration features a unique line-up of outstanding, highly qualified arbitrators and experts from academia and international legal practice. It offers a singular reservoir of knowledge and experience by bringing together the biggest names in the contemporary investment arbitration scene. They study the complex topic of the international investment award from a variety of angles, sharing with the readers their vast practical experience and scholarly insights.
