What is arbitration? This volume provides a novel theoretical examination of the concept of arbitration, attempting to answer fundamental questions which have rarely been addressed systematically in English. It explores the place of arbitration in the legal process, offering a challenging, yet accessible overview of the field and its theoretical underpinnings and contending that arbitration is important enough to be understood in its own terms, as a sui generis feature of social life.Why do individuals, companies, and States choose to go to arbitration rather than through litigation? Arbitration can offer increased flexibility and confidentiality, and provides the parties with the opportunity to select the arbitrators. But what makes them want to confide in an arbitrator rather than use the more traditional legal mechanisms for settling disputes? This volume explores what the parties can expect of an arbitrator, and whether and how the conduct of an arbitrator might be questioned and under what authority. It examines the ethical challenges to arbitral authority and its moral hazards, evaluating the promises and dangers of self-contained systems of decision-making and compliance.

This indispensable volume provides a complete and authoritative discussion of the current ICC rules and their application. The Annotated Guide contains an article-by-article analysis of the arbitration rules, including a comparison with the text of the relevant section of the 1975 rules, along with comprehensive indexes for tracking the rules of the court, and advice for arbitrators. Each annotation contains an explanation of the rationale that drove the revision or incorporation, as well as the expected effect on ICC arbitration practice. Where the rules are influenced by other established arbitration rules, appropriate cross-references appear.

Denial of justice is one of the oldest bases of liability in international law and the modern understanding of denial of justice is examined by Paulsson in this book, which was originally published in 2005. The possibilities for prosecuting the offence of denial of justice have evolved in fundamental ways and it is now settled law that States cannot disavow international responsibility by arguing that their courts are independent of the government. Even more importantly, the doors of international tribunals have swung wide open to admit claimants other than states: non-governmental organisations, corporations and individuals, and Paulsson examines several recent cases of great importance in his book.

Everyone condemns what they perceive as 'abuse of rights', and some would elevate it to a general principle of law. But the notion seldom suffices to be applied as a rule of decision. When adjudicators purport to do so they expose themselves to charges of unpredictability, if not arbitrariness. After examining the dissimilar origins and justification of the notion in national and international doctrine, and the difficulty of its application in both comparative and international law, this book concludes that except when given context as part of a lex specialis, it is too nebulous to serve as a general principle of international law.

Antologin ”Bra bostäder för seniorer” har sin upprinnelse i en insikt om att kunskapen kring den ordinära senior- och äldreboendemarknadens förutsättningar inte är något allmänt tillgängligt. Vad menas med alla koncept, produkter och begrepp som t.ex. seniorboende, mellanboende, trygghetsboende, livsstilsboende, äldreboende, vård- och omsorgsboende, korttidsboende, särskilt boende eller somatiskt boende? Vilka är skillnaderna och vilka är likheterna? I boken sammanförs många aktörer som på olika sätt och utgångspunkter bidrar till en gemensam kunskapsöversikt kring seniorers behov av bostäder utifrån alla de aspekter som spelar in och ytterst rör ett beslut om att bostadsanpassa eller flytta till något nytt och mer ändamålsenligt boende. Syftet är att lyfta fram aktuell idé- och kunskapsutveckling inom det breda kunskapsområdet som rör seniorers boende utifrån boendets fysiska och sociala innehåll och genom att lyfta fram ett antal goda exempel på bostäder för seniorer i Sverige. Boken vänder sig till personer i beslutsfattande ställning och personer som kan göra skillnad för att få till stånd fler och bättre bostäder för seniorer och äldre. Till exempel politiker, tjänstemän, bostadsutvecklare, arkitekter, konsulter, verksamhetsutövare, studenter inom den högre utbildningen, forskare och akademiker och inte minst de seniorer som söker ett alternativ till nuvarande boende och andra som driver opinion i frågan.
