Abstract

After decades of focus on harmonization, which for too many represents no more than Western legal dominance and a largely homogeneous arbitration practitioner community, this ground-breaking book explores the increasing attention being paid to the need for greater diversity in the international arbitration ecosystem. It examines diversity in all its forms, investigating how best to develop an international arbitral order that is not just tolerant of diversity, but that sustains and promotes diversity in concert with harmonized practices.

Keywords: International Arbitration, Diversity in Arbitration, International Dispute Resolution, Sustainable Legal Practices, Gender Equality in the Legal Profession, Sustainable Arbitration
