The book will start with an introductory chapter summarizing the history of the revision of the Rules, explaining the principal documentary sources to which reference will be made throughout the text 
 The main body of the text will be set out article by article. The analysis will be structured as follows: <ul>
<li> The principal legislative intent behind each new or revised provision - or in respect of provisions that will remain unchanged, the reasons for the absence of change - by reference to UNCITRAL materials and the Paulsson Petrochilos Report; </li> <li> Where a provision or set of provisions is changed, or entirely new provisions are introduced, an explanation of the shortcomings of the original text of the Rules. Reference will be made not only to case-law and literature but also to other arbitration rules and the practice under those rules; </li> <li> An analysis of discrete issues under each provision, for guidance to all those who apply the Rules. It is this kind of analysis that calls for a systematic understanding of the Rules as a whole, and where references to the legislative history may be extremely valuable </li> </ul>

For many parties to international contracts, arbitration has proven to be the most effective means of dispute resolution, yet too many of such contracts still founder on the rocks of defective dispute resolution clauses. This acclaimed book shows practitioners how to steer clear of those all-toocommon obstacles by drafting fully-informed, comprehensive contract provisions at the outset.

The Freshfields Guide to Arbitration and ADR, Clauses in International 3ed

The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) has become the leading arbitration institution for resolution of investor-state disputes, especially as ICSID may administer arbitrations initiated under such multilateral treaties as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the growing number of bilateral investment treaties (BITs). Accordingly, familiarity with the regime and jurisprudence of ICSID arbitration is an essential component of any international investment venture. 
 This Guide to ICSID Arbitration, written by three leading practitioners in the eminent international law firm of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, fills the gap in the literature between generic descriptions and academic commentary on ICSID or its aspects. It provides a sufficiently detailed but still user-friendly understanding of what ICSID arbitration is, when and how it can and should be used, and how an ICSID case works from start to finish. It offers potential and non-expert users of the ICSID regime as well as those generally interested in international commercial arbitration with the essentials of the ICSID Convention and of BITs, the various sets of rules, ICSID procedure, and the rapidly developing ICSID jurisprudence. 
 The Guide includes the following: an introduction to the ICSID regime; a discussion of the comparative merits of ICSID and other forms of arbitration; the basics of ICSID contractual arbitration; the basics of ICSID arbitration under bilateral and multilateral investment treaties; illustrative treaty materials, including discussion and comparison of BITs, and the full text of model and sample BITs and Chapter 11 of NAFTA; a description of the main ICSID rules and how a typical ICSID case develops in practice; a discussion of the unique features of annulment, recognition and enforcement of ICSID awards, with reference to the main awards to date; extensive annexes of basic ICSID documents, along with texts of relevant treaties and a chart of BITs entered into between ICSID Member States; and a selective bibliography of resources, for those who desire a more detailed and analytical understanding of ICSID arbitration and ICSID case law. 
 Guide to ICSID Arbitration will be of immeasurable value to international investors, corporate counsel, businesspersons, government legal advisers, interested lawyers and arbitrators, and students of dispute resolution. Pitched at an ideal location between academic scholarship and introductory texts, it offers parties in all these areas a full-fledged practical guide to the day-to-day realities of international investment dispute resolution in today's world.
