BOOK (INCLUDED IN THE CONFERENCE FEE) Each participant will receive a copy.

The Austrian Yearbook on International Arbitration 2018 is a

collection of articles on domestic and international arbitra-

tion by leading arbitration practitioners.

The Yearbook covers a number of areas of both topical and

enduring importance which are likely to be of relevance

to academics, practitioners or persons who may become

involved in arbitration in Austria or in any other place. Some

of the articles in the Yearbook analyze significant trends in

international arbitration, like the idea of a multilateral invest-

ment court, the enforcement of settlement agreements,

transparency in international commercial arbitration and

in arbitration institutions, arbitration as a means of private

enforcement as well as unilateral arbitration clauses.

It also includes the Vienna Repositioning Propositions, a

proposal by 27 experts on how to reposition actors and ac-

tions in international arbitrations.

The Content

The Austrian Yearbook on International Arbitration 2017 is a collection of articles and essays on current issues and hot topics in commercial and investment arbitration by leading practitioners.

Many contributions in this current 11th edition reflect the topic of the Vienna Arbi tration Days 2016 „The Road to Predictability in International Arbitration“. The article „The Vienna Predictability Propositions” has been co-authored by 26 leading practitioners from different jurisdictions giving a broad range of opinions on this topic.

Further contributions deal with• Third Party Funding• Dispute Resolution in M&A Transactions and• Relevance and Applicability of Trade Usages.

The Austrian Yearbook on International Arbitration is published annually.
