"Most works on arbitration deal only with the nuts-and-bolts; others adopt an entirely theoretical approach. Carbonneau's book offers all the perspectives one could want -- historical, analytical, jurisprudential and practical -- all the while viewing arbitration in its full range of substantive contexts. This completeness makes the book invaluable."
--George A. Bermann, Monnet Professor of European Union Law, Columbia University School of Law. Member, Board of Directors, American Arbitration Association (AAA), Reporter, American Law Institute (ALI), Restatement Third, The U.S. Law of International Commercial Arbitration
"This superb tour d'horizon masterfully brings together the disparate elements of arbitration law and practice. A must for every lawyer and law library."
--William W. Park, Professor of Law, Boston University: Of Counsel, Ropes & Gray, Boston; former President, London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA)

--Clark J. Freshman, Professor, University of Miami School of Law
"An excellent book on the topic of arbitration, destined to become a passage oblige for non-U.S. lawyers wishing to know about the law and practice of arbitration in the United States. The discussion on foreign and transnational law will be of great use to anyone interested in international commercial arbitration."
--Frederic Bachand, Judge, Court of Appeal of Quebec, former Professor, McGill University, Member, Canadian Commercial Arbitration Centre
"Professor Carbonneau's book is a necessary reference for practitioners and others interested in arbitration. The author conveys an accurate and comprehensive view of the core issues and debates that have emerged in the field. Carbonneau, in fact, supplies one of the most convincing and well articulated accounts of the law of arbitration. He focuses on both the domestic and international dimensions of the arbitral process and provides a persuasive description of their overlap and distinction. The chapter on international commercial arbitration is the best treatment of the topic I have seen. This volume will set the standard in the field."
--Philip J. McConnaughay, Dean and Donald J. Farage Professor of Law, Penn State University, The Dickinson School of Law; Former Partner, International Arbitration Group, Morrison & Foerster LLP, Tokyo and Hong Kong
