Publisher's Synopsis
To an extent that may surprise many, international arbitral proceedings are prone to serious interference from the obstructive or even criminal behaviour of interested 'stakeholders'. Numerous anecdotes involving not only bribery & subornation but actual violent threats of retaliation have emerged since the editors of this book addressed an audience at Vienna Arbitration Days 2010, at which time they used the popular term guerilla, denoting such tactics as ambushes, sabotage, and terrorism, to evoke their topic, and called for effective means to combat this undermining of the integrity & popularity of international arbitration. Their call bore fruit, & this collection of essays by seasoned arbitration practitioners, the driving forces in their field, as well as leading academics with distinguished backgrounds & reputations bears powerful witness to the importance of the subject.
