About this Book

This treatise brings together some of Asia's foremost scholars and practitioners to provide an in-depth commentary on the laws and institutions involved with commercial arbitration in each of Asia's leading trading nations: China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Each chapter covers not only the laws, procedures, institutions and customs affecting international commercial disputes, but also the differences between Western and Asian clients in the assignment of importance to each factor in the decision making process. The accompanying CD-Rom is devoted to original source materials, such as institutional and national rules and national legislation.
