The growing importance of arbitration as a means for international commercial dispute resolution necessitates independent platforms for ideas on the development and application of international arbitration.

Since its 1984 launch, the Journal of International Arbitration has established itself as a thought-provoking, ground-breaking journal aimed at the specific requirements of those involved in international arbitration. The journal now appears bimonthly (six times a year) rather than quarterly, giving it even more immediacy as a forum for original thinking, penetrating analysis, and lively discussion of international arbitration issues.

As always each issue contains in-depth investigations of the most important current issues in international arbitration, focusing on business, investment, and economic disputes between private corporations, state-controlled entities, and states. The journal's worldwide coverage ensures regular reporting on regional trends which can serve as an example for other regions and countries.

This is the first and only publication to provide comprehensive coverage of national laws on conflict of laws, now more commonly referred to as private international law. It presents country-by-country monographs dealing with the statutes, regulations and case law each country applies to cases involving transnational issues. It offers much-needed access to the conflict rules of other countries, presented clearly and concisely by local experts. The looseleaf format allows the monographs to be kept regularly up to date.

Beginning with a general introduction to the private international law of the country concerned, each monograph goes on to discuss choice of law technique, sources of private international law, intangible property rights, marriage, registered partnerships, property, succession and much more. Each national monograph concludes with an overview of the country's relevant civil procedure, examining lex fori, enforcement of foreign judgments and international arbitration.

The world is getting smaller and increasingly interdependent every day. As a result, national and regional developments are, as a matter of necessity, seen in a global framework. States want to preserve their independence but they are confronted with a growing list of problems which they can only solve in co-operation with others. The sheer scale of the issues at stake calls for an institutional framework to give that co-operation a more permanent structure.

It is therefore appropriate in the framework of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws to make accessible comprehensive, substantial and readily available information on the most important intergovernmental organizations, given their importance for the development of international law and intergovernmental co-operation in general. The fundamental changes taking place nowadays at an incredible pace within IGOs render it all the more necessary to put this information within easy reach. Some 55 leading organizations will be described in separate monographs of approximately 150 pages each.

Family and succession law are tightly bound together. Succession law is usually based on kindred relationships as established by family law. The trends established in the marital property laws and succession laws are often a result of developments in family law.

Equality of spouses and of all children, regardless of their descent, is not without consequences for marital property laws and succession law. Therefore, this comprehensive comparative looseleaf set covers family law together with marital property law and succession law. In addition to the national monographs this subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws currently includes a monograph for the European Union.

This set is primarily intended for judges, notaries, lawyers and registrars of civil status who find themselves having to apply foreign laws as a result of applicable international private law. However, it is also of great value to academics and researchers, for whom it stimulates comparative studies by providing the necessary basic materials of family and succession law.

The complex law surrounding energy production and the exploitation of natural resources has reached the legal foreground both nationally and internationally. Numerous countries have enacted new legislation in recent years concerning nuclear power generation, the use of non-renewable resources, transportation of hazardous materials and other issues raised by energy production processes.

Other branches of law have inevitably become bound up with energy law, making it difficult for the legal practitioner to gain a clear appreciation of the entire field, especially in a transnational context.

Each national monograph in this book contains a general introduction, a description of the country's energy legislation, an overview of the basic principles of energy law, the historical background, the role of governmental institutions and the sources of energy law in that country's legal system. Each country's regulatory framework concerning electricity, gas, petrol and coal is fully set forth.

The introduction of new digital information and communications technologies has given birth to a new legal domain, commonly called Information and Communication Technology Law or, more fashionably, Cyber Law.

Practically every country in the world has issued specific legislation or developed case law in this area. The domain has acquired sufficient stability to fit into a common structure and a logical consequence of this evolution is the publication of an International Encyclopaedia of Cyber Law. The initial volume contains information about cyber laws in Australia, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Japan, UK, Portugal, South Africa and Spain. Other countries will be incorporated as the work matures. As well as national monographs, it includes monographs on supranational and international cyber law issues.

The practice of international commercial law has become so complex since the onset of globalization that it has become virtually impossible for interested parties to collect their own copies of the various source materials. After six years, the editor has thoroughly updated this collection, which in its first edition quickly became a cornerstone resource for business lawyers, making it far and away the most complete collection of applicable treaties, institutional rules, regulations, model laws and codes there is.

The Second Edition includes increased attention to influential areas like the extraterritorial effects of certain national laws and the growing use of non-statutory models such as the UNIDROIT principles. This one-volume source provides invaluable support for in-house counsel and corporate lawyers and offers the scholar and student a peerless reference work.

Optimising the outcome of disputes connected with international business forms the subject matter of International Arbitration and Mediation: A Practical Guide.

Rather than adopt an idealised approach of pursuing victories at any cost, the authors help parties predict the realistic consequences (and costs) of their decisions and provide a step-by-step guide to opportunities to influence the course of a dispute as it unfolds in its various stages. They discuss techniques for productively resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, frequently illustrating critical steps through real-world examples drawn from past experiences.

The book is intended as an easily accessible desktop resource for lawyers who regularly counsel businesses when negotiating international deals, and for those who represent the same clients in achieving a successful resolution when disputes emerge.

The practical guidance includes:

• How to determine which dispute resolution clauses work best for different international contracts, and how to negotiate those clauses
• What preliminary steps parties should consider to preserve their rights when a dispute arises
• Whether and how to appoint counsel
• When and how to perform an early case assessment (ECA)
• How to organise and conduct international mediations and arbitration proceedings
• How to enforce (or set aside) arbitral awards
• Securing the benefit of additional protections available through investment treaties

The text is divided into chapters that follow the life cycle of an international commercial dispute as seen through the eyes of the parties, from when they agree how to resolve disputes in their contracts to the endgame of enforcement. Additionally, the appendices include a number of model submissions for further reference.
