Abstract

Much as one may try to universalize and even ‘de-nationalize’ international commercial arbitration – whether through Conventions, uniform or model laws or soft law – the phenomenon remains profoundly affected by national law and policy. That is indeed very much one of the leitmotifs of this book.

The incongruities – big and small – between domestic and international arbitration regimes typically present themselves on a purely ad hoc basis; that is to say, in specific and often isolated contexts, as when a particular case in a national court produces a result that looks anomalous from the point of view of a major international instrument such as the New York Convention. The current American Law Institute’s Restatement of the US Law of International Commercial Arbitration provides a very different and, indeed, unprecedented context for observing the discontinuities that may affect the application of the New York Convention in national law.
