Dalhuisen on Transnational and Comparative Commercial, Financial and Trade Law Volume 2

The seminal text on the transnational/comparative law of trade and commerce

“Remains a must read for practitioners and academics interested in more than the substantive law of trans-border commercial activity.” - King’s Law Journal (review of the 5th edition)

Volume 2 of this new edition covers the transnationalisation of dispute resolution, especially arbitration, and contains a critical analysis of the main challenges to its success, continuing credibility, and effectiveness.

The volume distinguishes between commercial, financial, and foreign investment arbitration and concentrates on the status, role, and reasoning of international arbitrators, their limited powers especially in matters of public policy and in property matters, the threat of judicialisation, and the need to connect with mediation and a settlement ethos.

This magisterial work is made up of 6 volumes. Used independently, each volume allows the reader to delve into a particular topic. Alternatively, all volumes can be read together for a comprehensive overview of transnational comparative commercial, financial and trade law.
