Overview

International commercial arbitration has undergone fundamental changes in most countries of Latin America in the last decade, especially in the countries of the MERCOSUR and the associated countries. This manual provides practitioners and scholars alike with quick access to and in-depth analysis of the laws of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile (including the new law on international commercial arbitration of September 2004), Paraguay, and Uruguay, as well as of the relevant international treaties, such as the MERCOSUR-Agreements of 1998. The book follows the structure of the UNCITRAL-Model Law, which guarantees easy access to the sometimes complicated national laws. The direct topical comparative analysis provides for a deeper insight than mere country reports. Interviews with nearly 100 judges, lawyers, and scholars assure that the practical reality is well reflected in the analysis. A bilingual annex contains the English translations of all relevant legislation.
