商品簡介
The first question is whose relations with Arab and Islamic countries are at issue, and the answer obviously is the western capitalist powers; the second question is why it was assumed that the orientation need not even be mentioned. Most of the 17 papers exploring the three approaches were presented at a joint conference of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the Arab Union of International Arbitration in The Hague 30 days after the September 11th attacks. Members of the two groups from such fields as business, law, and international relations discuss Islamic law, globalization, and emerging electronic-commerce technologies; peace and prosperity through trade; whether there is an arbitration crisis in the Arab world, and other topics. There is a French summary, but no index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
