Dealing in Virtue : International Commercial Arbitration and the Construction of a Transnational Legal Order (Chicago Series in Law and Society)

Rating:
Summary: An excelent work on law sociology.
Review: The autor have done a very clear presentation of the construction of fields (a Pierre Bourdieu's concept) in law legitimation and social creation of power. Tis book isn't only an important work on international arbitration but a fundamental reading to all that would like to understand law and society. The history of international arbitration field on ICC and other institutions, illustrated by several examples, is, perhaps, the best way to undersatnd how and why the international ADR have developed and works.
