Wolters Kluwer - Roles of Psychology in International Arbitration

International arbitration relies on private contractual relations, yet it is recognized by governments worldwide as a reliable alternative to State court litigation. While it functions as a private process, its legitimacy and authority come from the actions and views of the people involved, including arbitrators, counsel, and the parties themselves. This book examines how psychological factors impact every stage of an arbitral proceeding. As these factors can change the course of a case, understanding the human element is necessary for anyone working within the legal system. This text provides the insights needed to navigate the complex psychological landscape of modern international law. Part of the International Arbitration Law Library, this work offers a deep look into the human dynamics that shape legal outcomes. It is an essential resource for legal professionals seeking to understand the non-legal forces that influence the arbitration process.
