"This book underscores the significance of arbitration, especially in contexts where specialist arbitrators are needed, or business secrets must be safeguarded. It delves into the nuances of arbitration for international parties seeking neutral forums, underpinned by the New York Convention's enforceable awards. It also notes the benefits and pitfalls of arbitration in more controversial areas like business-to-consumer and employment contracts. The book also sheds light on the emergence of online arbitration (OArb), catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic and advancements in technology. OArb leverages technology to streamline processes, sometimes offering parties a convenient and cost-effective alternative to in-person arbitration. The text explores OArb's promise and pitfalls, including discussion of AI, blockchain, and the metaverse in arbitration. The book also includes an appendix of OArb protocols that have developed in recent years, as well as providing guidance for arbitrators and arbitration counsel navigating this technological shift, addressing concerns such as cybersecurity and uneven access to technology" -- Publisher's website.
