Items related to Legal Theory of International Arbitration
International arbitration readily lends itself to a legal theory analysis. The fundamentally philosophical notions of autonomy and freedom are at the heart of its field of study. Similarly essential are the questions of legitimacy raised by the parties freedom to favor a private form of dispute resolution over national courts, to choose their judges, to tailor the procedure and to choose the applicable rules of law, and by the arbitrators freedom to determine their own jurisdiction, to shape the conduct of the proceedings and to choose the rules applicable to the dispute. The present work, based on a Course given at The Hague Academy of International Law in the Summer 2007, identifies the philosophical postulates that underlie this field of study and shows their profound coherence and the practical consequences that follow from these postulates in the resolution of international disputes.

Review:
The book provides an extraordinarily clear overview of the main conceptions of international arbitration and their various practical consequences. A reading is therefore highly recommended for all arbitration practitioners --P. Lalive, L ordre public transnational et l arbitre international, in Liber Fausto Pocar, 2009, p. 601, at pp. 599-611 (in French)
In the best French tradition of private international law scholarship, Professor Gaillard undertakes an intellectual tour de force which demonstrates that the law of international arbitration cannot properly be understood without reflection on its philosophical underpinnings and, vice versa, that different philosophical conceptions of the law of international arbitration are not without practical implications --V. Heiskanen, Commentary of E. Gaillard, Aspects philosophiques du droit de l arbitrage international, in EJIL 20/2009, p. 942, at pp. 942-947
On all these points, Emmanuel Gaillard s book bears witness to his vast experience and exceptional comparative knowledge, as well as incorporating abundant and contemporary material, which, once again, makes it literally indispensable reading for all international arbitration practitioners --P. Lalive, Aspects philosophiques du droit de l arbitrage international, in ASA Bull. 4/2008 (December), p. 704, at pp. 700-704 (in French)
