Deference in International Commercial Arbitration
In international arbitration, deference entails that one decision-maker does not make an autonomous assessment but limits its decision-making power out of respect for the decision or authority of another actor. For example, a court exercising post-award review might refrain from reviewing a question of procedure de novo but instead defer to a prior determination made by the arbitral tribunal. In this book, prominent arbitration practitioners and academics offer the first systematic analysis of such deference in international arbitration. With abundant reference to case law from major arbitration hubs, the analysis is organized around the three relationships in which questions of deference ar...
Twilight Issues in International Arbitration
There are many issues of arbitral practice that remain largely unaddressed, or very poorly addressed, in the sources to which tribunals and counsel conventionally turn for procedural guidance: the arbitration agreement, the lex arbitri and rules of procedure. This book brings together the most frequently recurring of such “twilight” issues—so-called because all participants in the arbitral process, when facing them, find themselves “in the dark”—showing in each case where it is best for arbitrators, counsel, and parties to look for solutions offering logic, certainty and predictability. The issues ably covered by the author include, among others, the following: Is a non-signatory...
The Investigative Brigade
During the seventeen-year Pinochet dictatorship, more than three thousand Chileans were murdered or disappeared without a trace. In 1991, a year after the brutal military regime ended, the new civilian government tasked the nation’s detective force to investigate these crimes. Chilean journalist Pascale Bonnefoy tells the dramatic story of the detectives who hunted down and attempted to bring human rights violators to account.

With Pinochet still in charge of the army, a center-left government tested how far it could go...

Memórias do Anonymus Gourmet
José Antonio Pinheiro Machado conseguiu a proeza de transformar o supersofisticado Anonymus Gourmet em um dos personagens mais populares da TV brasileira. Mas este líder do Ibope e best-seller nasceu de aventuras literárias bem mais ousadas, artesanais e igualmente aclamadas. É na crônica das andanças de Anonymus Gourmet pelo mundo que transparece a maestria do grande ficcionista e escritor J. A. Pinheiro Machado. Algumas das melhores histórias deste périplo pelo mundo foram reunidas aqui nestas deliciosas "Memórias do Anonymus Gourmet". O fio condutor deste livro são as requintadas descrições das andanças deste curioso personagem pelo mundo. Entre vinhos finos e cristais, quer no Bairro Alto em Lisboa ou no Harri's bar em Veneza, as peripécias deste bon vivant pelo mundo afora são pretextos para saborosas histórias. Como poderia ter dito o próprio Anonymus, "abrir este livro é abrir uma porta para a melhor literatura e o que importa é o prazer de ler".
A fé o fuzil
Depois de esmiuçar o mundo do crime no Rio de Janeiro em A república das milícias, Bruno Paes Manso volta com um mergulho em outra dimensão da criminalidade no Brasil. A partir de depoimentos de ex-criminosos que tiveram a vida transformada pelo contato com a religião, o autor desconstrói estigmas associados às novas denominações evangélicas e mostra como o crescimento desses grupos responde a anseios profundos de uma população exposta a todo tipo de violência.
