In the last hundred years, international arbitration has emerged as the principal method for the settlement for commercial disputes. It was initially used predominantly in commercial matters, but is now used in a variety of instances and is relevant for a large number of legal areas.

In this course, we examine in detail, and from a variety of angles, how arbitration has evolved to its current important status. We start by defining arbitration, and look at the juridical nature of arbitration.

We will also investigate arbitration agreements and tribunals as the course progresses through the modules.
