'The Principles and Practice of International Commercial Arbitration by Margaret Moses is an essential book for any arbitration practitioner or scholar. Put simply, it is the best textbook on international arbitration out there. It provides a clear explanation of the interplay of various legal instruments governing international commercial arbitration. Even more importantly, the book provides vivid real life examples of how those instruments come to life in legal practice.' Davor Babić, Professor of Law, University of Zagreb

This book not only deals with the broad application of international treaties, guidelines, laws and rules affecting international commercial arbitration, but also includes information about the most recent developments in the field. Readers learn how arbitration works, from the request to arbitrate, the selection of arbitrators, the procedures leading up to the hearing, the witnesses and evidence at the hearing, to the granting of the final award. Along the way, many strategies and tactics come into play, as an arbitration moves toward the goal of resolving the dispute. The reader learns to appreciate the application of different laws and ethical concepts that may vary by jurisdiction, including the ethical obligations of arbitrators and of counsel. Throughout, the principles of international arbitration are supported by the practice, providing a very concrete approach to the resolution of international disputes by arbitration.
