Description

The expansion of international trade has generated a substantial increase in the number and nature of international disputes. This course aims to provide students with a theoretical and practical basis to compare and analyse approaches to conflict in the international commercial setting. Effective use of available dispute resolution mechanisms requires consideration of a number of issues including, the court’s jurisdiction over foreign parties, international conventions and institutions, applicable domestic legislative regimes for international litigation and arbitration, the likelihood of enforcement as well as other cross-cultural considerations. In a three module structure comprising, International Alternative Dispute Resolution, International Litigation and International Arbitration, this course aims to give students an overview as to the dispute resolution methods available, their use and effectiveness in the international commercial setting as well as practical considerations in terms of drafting dispute resolution clauses and arbitration agreements the process of negotiations, and institutional mediations and arbitrations.
