The Self-Styled 'Autonomy' Of International Arbitration, George A. Bermann
The Self-Styled 'Autonomy' Of International Arbitration, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
Among international legal regimes, international arbitration has traditionally claimed for itself a remarkable degree of autonomy from other international regimes, an autonomy that enables it to enjoy a remarkable measure of self-determination. Its assertions of autonomy take a number of different forms and exhibit considerable resilience. Autonomy does allow international arbitration to develop in accordance with norms that are specific to it, but it also poses challenges that need, even for international arbitration’s own well-being, to be acknowledged and addressed.
