International Commercial Arbitration: Law Applicable to Merits and 'Creeping' Judicial Substantive Review

The contributions in the book analyse a variety of conceptual and substantive problems in private international law and consider current developments in the discipline, from conceptual analyses of the evolving nature and scope of private international law to substantive problems across a range of longstanding issues on which there is insufficient scholarly analysis, as well as emerging issues. These include contemporary problems of great political importance, such as environmental protection, gender-based discrimination, asymmetries of private power, and the proper delineation of public and private intervention; emerging problems in commercial law, such as cryptocurrencies; longstanding definitional concerns in family law; and broader emerging systemic concerns, such as the treatment of authentic instruments, and the place of human rights protection in global supply chains in private international law.
