Luke Sobota is a founding partner of Three Crowns LLP, Washington DC, a firm dedicated to international arbitration. He has extensive experience in investor-State, commercial, and inter-State arbitrations. He is co-author of the monograph General Principles of Law and International Due Process (2017) and is a lecturer on law at Harvard Law School. Ryan Manton is an Associate at Three Crowns LLP, Washington DC.

'It has been more than thirty years since Judge Schwebel - one of the most prominent, if not the most prominent, living scholars and practitioner in the field of public international law - published the first edition of his seminal work International Arbitration: Three Salient Problems. Since then, international arbitration has gained tremendous ground and its popularity continues to grow. Yet the problems that existed then persist today. In large part, the answers to those problems lie in the basic tenets and the foundational principles of arbitration, of which the second edition of the book reminds us. The review and analysis of those contemporary issues of international arbitration through the prism of decades of evolution and case law makes the second edition of Judge Schwebel's book a required 'night-table' reading for scholars and practitioners.'
