China-Africa Dispute Settlement—The Law, Economics and Culture of Arbitration

For trade policy makers and students of international business law, this large volume on China-Africa trade examines the legal structures in place for dispute resolution between these important trading partners and explores the ways in which economic development and evolving legal traditions influence the governance of trade. The book is divided into sections covering the legal framework and dispute resolution mechanisms in China-Africa trade relations, legal frameworks for investment disputes, private commercial regulation, and arbitration practices. Additional sections discuss the long history of China-Africa trade relations, and a series of appendices provides a collection of documents surrounding recent trade summits and specific arbitration plans and treaties.
