'[The volume] provides international arbitration enthusiasts with an indispensable companion to understand its reliefs, and grasp its substance. … Its quality, evident from reading its content, is just as obvious to the simple consultation of the list of its authors, each of whom has helped to shape the very essence of international arbitration in recent decades … readers will be able to enrich their thinking on arbitrage and will also have at their disposal a series of useful tools for understanding the discipline as a whole.' Pierre Nosewicz, Revue Critique de Droit International Privé
