Professor A.F.M. Maniruzzaman and Gary Born edited this special in which over two dozen practitioners and academics examine the changing practices in resolving international business disputes by Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Asia, a region that has experienced phenomenal growth in the use of ADR - and international arbitration in particular - to resolve international business disputes in recent years.

TDM 4 (2011)

Prof. Maya Steinitz and Joe Matthews prepared this TDM Special Issue on "Contingent Fees and Third Party Funding in Investment Arbitration Disputes". This (mini-)issue will hopefully help to advance the analysis of issues presented by the growth of contingent fee and third party funding arrangements in international arbitration, particularly investment arbitration.

TDM 3 (2011)

Edited by Dr. Todd Weiler, this TDM Special Issue addresses the intersections that exist between investment treaty law and international trade law. Issues addressed include: the use and relative applicability of substantive trade law concepts investor-state arbitration; an in-depth examination and analysis of the TRIMs Agreement; a comparison between most favored nation and national treatment clauses in WTO law and in international investment law, and research into the substantive and procedural standards offered by investment treaties and WTO agreements. We would also like to thank Dr. Walid Ben Hamida, Heather Bray and Devin Bray for their ineluctable assistance in preparing this Special.

Contribute (Short) Comments & Papers

We are looking for both short comments on recent developments of broad interest and longer academic style papers. We would like, such comments and papers to be backed-up by provision of in-depth notes and articles and primary legal and regulatory materials.

Given TDM's role as the principal international arbitration network, we are looking to re-publish quality and relevant studies published elsewhere - and would appreciate help in identifying such studies and, where possible, get the authors' (or other right-holders') consent.

For more information or suggestions, please contact our Editor in Chief, have a look at our submission guidelines and read our Call for Papers section.
