Corruption in International Trade and Commercial Arbitration

Entirely revising and updating his doctoral dissertation for the University of Geneva in 2001, Sayed describes how corruption in international trade is judged in arbitration, and explains why there is no uniformity in the arbitral practice concerning corruption. For practicing lawyers, arbitrators, and judges, he surveys and analyzes almost all that can be found of international arbitral practice and leading national cases, and examines critically the legal literature. For scholars and theorists, he calls on philosophy, social science, and legal theory to address such issues as legal pluralism and social preconditions for the emergence of effective public policy rules at the national or international level.
