Yves Fortier Chair in International Arbitration and International Commercial Law at McGill University Faculty * An impressive cast of authors; a mine of valuable information; viewed through the prism of the award, topics that cover all the procedural aspects of investment arbitration; a well-balanced mix of indispensable classical themes and of less frequently discussed contemporary subjects, such as real life tribunal dynamics, empirical dimensions, historical perspectives, to name just these. In short, a book that everyone involved in investment arbitration, counsel, arbitrator and academic alike, will not only find a helpful working tool, but may well also truly enjoy. * Prof. Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler * This is quite a tour de force! All facets of the Award on Investment Arbitration are explored and commented upon by the most distinguished arbitrators who dabble today in this wonderful world. This is a winner! Some of us have been waiting for this thorough review of knowledge and experience. My compliments to all contributors! I can think of no facet of this world which has not been addressed in this treatise. It combines knowledge and experience. Merci! * Hon. Yves Fortier, CC, KC * "The Award in International Investment Arbitration", co-edited by Catharine Titi and Katia Fach Gomez and published by OUP is a welcome and precious sum of more than 500 pages dealing with the arbitral award in investment arbitration, in all its facets, from its fabrication to its enforcement. A great variety of topics has been addressed by 46 authors, many of whom are the most prominent and recognised actors in the field. The book starts with a piece of Catharine Titi asking "What Is an Award? Concept, Content, Drafting, Effects" and ends with a piece of Katia Fach Gómez centred on the most recent evolutions concerning "The Visible and Invisible Footprint of New Technologies in Investment Awards. This contribution will indisputably be a fascinating reference tool for practitioners, scholars, students and above all, arbitrators. * Brigitte Stern, International Arbitrator *
