Book Synopsis

The Transnational Codification of International Arbitration studies the process of transnational codification of international arbitration. Through a broad array of instruments and their legislative history, this research connects agents and ideas involved in a long-term project of procedural formalization. Bruno Sousa Rodrigues argues that since the late 19th century there has been a progressive convergence of procedural technique of public and private forms of international arbitration, motivated by an ambition to govern war, peace and commerce. Readers get an in-depth look at how this convergence has affected the authority of international arbitration in a globalized administration of justice.
