The Plurality and Synergies of Legal Traditions in International Arbitration is a unique book furnishing an informative and rational discussion on various facets of international arbitration, clarifying the main procedural and substantive similarities and differences between different legal systems around the world, highlighting not only common and civil law traditions but also the role played by regional legal traditions including Islamic law and African perspectives. The cultural diversity characterizing international arbitration today is as much a source of enrichment as it is sometimes a source of practical difficulties affecting both the arbitration procedure and the application of substantive law. Consequently, it is becoming more apparent that the critical project for international arbitration in the immediate future will be how to answer the fundamental question of cultural pluralism best.
