This is no ordinary liber amicorum. A constellation of the brightest stars in the firmament of international commercial arbitration has shone new light on a comprehensive selection of contemporary problems. * Professor Derek Roebuck, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies * This is a rich collection of contributions on all aspects of international arbitration from authors pre-eminent in the field. It is a worthy celebration of CIArb's Centenary. * Michael Collett QC, 20 Essex Street * This is a valuable contribution to the world's trove of arbitral wisdom - from an elegant foreword through the kidnapped arbitrator (it is a more exciting world than you might think!) - to the comprehensive review of how construction conflict resolution has evolved, there is much here to interest, to enjoy, and from which to learn. * John Tackaberry QC, 39 Essex Chambers * This fine collection of essays delivers what some other international arbitration texts only promise: you really will learn something new from each of the meticulously edited, eminently readable chapters. A fitting 100th-birthday tribute to the CIArb. * Simon Nesbitt QC, Maitland Chambers * With this collection of leading international arbitration players writing - from specialized experience - on this collection of issues, this liber amicorum will be defining indeed. Congratulations to the CIArb. * Lucy Reed, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer * The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators celebrates its 100th anniversary with a book that is a tribute to the great contribution that it has made to the progress and development of international dispute resolution in a time of renewed challenges. Defining Issues in International Arbitration provides a fascinating perspective on the contemporary issues facing arbitration and is an extremely valuable source of inspiration on how they should be addressed. Any
practitioner or scholar should read it. * Alexis Mourre, President, ICC International Court of Arbitration *
