Practising Virtue
International arbitration is one of the main mechanisms to settle cross-border disputes between states, private commercial actors, and private and public entities. Yet its theoretical penetration is incomplete. This book, by arbitrators, counsel, and scholars, provides fundamental theoretical insights into international arbitration.

Further chapters cover the arbitration agreement & its enforcement, drafting considerations for the arbitral clause, a survey of arbitral institutions, judicial assistance for arbitration, aspects of arbitral proceedings, & the powers & functions of the arbitral tribunal.

Investment Law's Alibis
This book aims to connect narratives associated with the past to the international regime that protects property and contract rights of foreign investors. The book scrutinizes justifications offered to sustain practices associated with colonialism, imperialism, civilized justice, debt, and development, revealing that a number of the rationales offered in support of investment law disciplines replicate those arising out of this discredited past. By revealing these linkages, the book raises concerns about investment law's premises. It would appear that the normative foundations for today's regime reproduces discursive practices that are less than compelling. The book argues that citizens deserve something more than historically discredited reasons to justify the exercise of power over them – something more than mere pretext.
