Arbitration and the Constitution

    Arbitration has become an increasingly important mechanism for dispute resolution, both in the domestic and international setting. Despite its importance as a form of state-sanctioned dispute resolution, it has largely remained outside the spotlight of constitutional law. This landmark work represents one of the first attempts to synthesize the fields of arbitration law and constitutional law. Drawing on the author's extensive experience as a scholar in arbitration law who has lectured and studied around the world, the book offers unique insights into how arbitration law implicates issues such as separation of powers, federalism and individual liberties.

    • First ever systematic account of the relationship between arbitration law and constitutional law of the United States
    • Draws on author's experience lecturing and studying around the world
    • Offers unique insights into the ways that two fields of law influence each other beyond express application of doctrine
