This book explores how human qualities, such as perception, reasoning, and culture, inform the daily practice of international arbitration.\u003c\/p\u003e The volume gathers contributions presented at the twenty-sixth Congress of the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA), held in Hong Kong in May 2024, under the theme \u003ci\u003eInternational Arbitration: A Human Endeavour\u003c\/i\u003e. Framed as both a statement and a provocation, the theme invites critical reflection on the role of the individual in a system often portrayed as neutral, objective, and abstract. Across fifty-one chapters from fifteen thematic panels, the book explores questions at the heart of arbitral practice:   \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Unveiling the Human Dimension in International Arbitration;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Arbitrator;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Decision-Making and Biases;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sociology and Education;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Judging the New York Convention;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Culture, Localisation and Regionalism;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Advocate;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Procedures and Behaviours;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e It's (Not) Just Semantics - The Hidden Power of Language;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Inter-Personal Conduct and Ethics;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dispute Resolution and the Global Community;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Working in an Adversarial Environment;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Costs and Economics; and\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e International Arbitration: An AI Endeavour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Set against a backdrop of global change and increased attention to inclusivity, transparency, and accountability in arbitration, the chapters offer timely and candid reflections on the lived experience of arbitration. They examine how the human element continues to shape arbitral justice today, but also how it may be redefined in a future increasingly influenced by social and technological changes. Together, the contributions paint a picture of international arbitration as a profoundly human endeavour, shaped by those who practice it and those who will redefine its future. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Audley William Sheppard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9403532092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789403532097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kluwer Law International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.69d","brand":"Audley William Sheppard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799228526847,"sku":"9789403532097","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-arbitration-audley-william-sheppard-9789403532097","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
