The BCDR International Arbitration Review (the Review) is a scholarly international law journal that seeks to further an important component of BCDR's mandate by disseminating knowledge on, and increasing understanding of, the law and procedure of international dispute settlement.
Published biannually and featuring content in both Arabic and English, the Review comprises articles, case summaries and other significant reports; each issue focusing on a topic of universal interest in international arbitration, with an emphasis on relevance to the Arab Region.
The Review provides the Arab and non-Arab legal and academic communities with a perspective on developments in the field of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution in the region. It also provides a forum for practitioners and academics alike to contribute to the ongoing dialogue around international arbitration in general.
Topics have included the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in the Arab states of the Gulf, women's voices in international arbitration (part 1) (part 2), arbitration in Egypt, investment arbitration in the Middle East, construction arbitration in the Middle East, the BCDR 2017 arbitration rules (part 1) (part 2), oil and gas arbitration in the Middle East, third-party funding in international arbitration, international mediation, conflicts of interest in international arbitration (part 1) (part 2), online dispute resolution (part 1) (part 2), screening of arbitration requests and early dismissal of claims, and sports arbitration.
Issues on "States and International Arbitration" and on "Provisional Measures in International Arbitration" are slated for publication in the future.
