This book offers a clear and intellectually rigorous gateway into international arbitration. The book’s original “anatomical” approach dissects arbitration into its core components to show how this dispute resolution system operates in practice.
The book begins with cross-cutting issues such as sources of law and soft law, institutional and ad hoc arbitration, diversity, digitalisation, review mechanisms, and the enforcement of awards. It then examines eleven arbitration mechanisms, illustrating the diversity of arbitral frameworks - from inter-State, investor-State, and commercial arbitration to specialised areas including maritime, commodities, intellectual property, sports, and business and human rights arbitration. Each arbitration mechanisms chapter covers jurisdiction, procedure, adjudicators, applicable law, review, and the relationship with domestic and international courts.
Written by leading practitioners, academics, and arbitral institutions figures, the volume serves as both an accessible entry point and a comparative resource for scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers.
"Anna Petrig and Yarik Kryvoi’s TheAnatomy of International Arbitration is an invaluable contribution to the literature and deserves a place on the desk of all those involved in any form of international arbitration."
Christopher Greenwood, Arbitrator and Judge of the Iran-US Claims Tribunal, United Kingdom

"The Anatomy of International Arbitration is a must have and a must read. It transcends the conventional boundaries of legal literature. This magnum opus, meticulously curated by Anna Petrig and Yarik Kryvoi is not merely a compendium of arbitral wisdom; it actually offers analytical insights and deftly navigates the intricate interplay between established norms and emerging challenges. It provides a kaleidoscopic view that is both panoramic in scope and microscopic in detail. The book’s innovative “anatomical” approach deciphers the complex language of arbitration for neophytes and veterans alike. In essence, this book is an intellectual odyssey and is destined to occupy a hallowed place not just on bookshelves, but in the minds of all who seek to comprehend and shape the evolving narrative of international arbitration."
