In the present volume are published contributions addressing interstate, mixed and traditional commercial arbitrations. In this way illustrating that the international arbitral process is one process, the adjectives public, private and mixed merely describing different aspects of this process. In preparing this publication, the author thought of the various contributions as falling under the category of “international arbitration”. Some might argue that the term is imprecise in that it does not distinguish between private, commercial arbitration and arbitrations between States. That is precisely the point. The author's uses the term “international arbitration” as a common denominator of most forms of international arbitration, be they private, commercial, interstate or mixed arbitrations. Needless to say, there are many differences, both as to substance and procedure, between the different forms of arbitration. This notwithstanding, the author submits that there is a high degree of commonality between the different categories, certainly high enough to warrant joint discussion and publication. Although the chapters in this volume cover different forms of international arbitration, as well as different aspects thereof, all serve to illustrate the international arbitral process.
