PREFACE
Turkey enjoys a privileged historical, juridic, and geographical posture that suggests that it rightfully should be a leader in any effort contemplating the fashioning of a judicial culture premised upon a confluence of legal tra-ditions. As of the date of this writing, the Ministry of Justice has made clear Turkey′s commitment to international commercial arbitration as both an instrumentality of that sovereign′s development and a reassurance published to the world of prospective investors in Turkey as a host-state that its judici-ary has placed international commercial arbitration in pari materia with judicial recourse. This embracing and promotion of international commercial arbitration has been undertaken by clearly understanding that there is a need to build a judicial rubric on the traditional ius çivile and the ius gentium europeam so as to give rise to, as an ultimate expression of a judicial voice, a ius mundis or, put simply, a global law.
International commercial arbitration is but a temporizing measure, per-haps unbeknovrast to its vast constituency in the world of commerce, law, and the academy, that is serving as a historical temporal bridge until such time as transnational courts of civil procedure vested with authority to adjudicate private disputes arising from cross-border controversy, or the courts of "superestates", such as perhaps the European Court of Justice with respect to the European Union are capable of exercising jurisdiction över such con-flicts. Indeed, here international commercial arbitration, whether in the con-text of free trade agreements or ICSID, shall serve as the fertile petri dish for the right proportions of different legal systems that ultimately shall create a confluence of legal cultures capable of satisfying the well reasoned expecta-tions of parties to an arbitral proceeding. Moreover, the transfer of dispute resolution from the public to the private arena also constitutes a gradual exercise in the ceding of sovereignty pursuant to the reallocation of dispute resolution together with a new role for the judiciary as subservient to arbi-trations. This new space for judicial activism, which admittedly is confining in nature, represents a first step in the demişe of traditional paradigms of sovereignty, the modern state, and nationhood.
The rise in the number of international commercial disputes caused by the seemingly inexorable expansion of international trade and investments has brought about the need for alternative means of dispute resolution to supplement or replace the dispute resolution provided by state courts. International commercial arbitration is considered to be the mechanism that best meets the needs of the business community with regard to the resolution of disputes involving international trade and investments. The degree of free-donı provided to the parties to such disputes to select institutions or appoint individuals required to resolve disputes, and to choose the venue and the lan-guage of the proceedings and the substantive and the procedural rules to be applied are among the key factors that render international commercial arbitration an indispensable method of dispute resolution. The potentially rela-tively short amount of time needed for the completion of arbitral proceedings, the possibility of having individuals with the necessary and appropriate tech-nical expertise serve on arbitral tribunals, the lack of confidence towards state courts, particularly in disputes involving states, are also important factors promoting the use of arbitral proceedings.
Because arbitration is generally viewed as an appropriate mechanism that provides a speedy and satisfactory resolution to international commercial disputes, many states endeavor to create an arbitration-friendly legal environment in order to attract arbitral proceedings dealing with international commercial disputes. The creation of such a suitable legal environment is, therefore, critical in today′s world.
This book, which is the fruit of istanbul Conference on International Dispute Resolution: a Global Perspective organized by Prof. Dr. Nuray Ekşi under the auspices of istanbul Chamber ofCommerce on 15 November 2007, contains surveys of domestic legislation applicable to international commercial arbitration as adopted by many countries, including Austria, Brazil, Canada, Turkey and the United States. These national surveys mainly focus on international aspects of commercial arbitration in the authors′ respective countries. However, these surveys also deal with the legal framework of domestic arbitrations as well. in addition to articles that describe the rules and procedures regarding international commercial arbitration in different jurisdictions, this book also contains a brief survey of the Energy Charter Treaty, and segments that deal respectively with enforcement of arbitral awards, and dispute settlement at the World Trade Organization ("WTO").
Certainly, it would be less than comprehensive and, therefore, far from perfect, to preface this text without explicitly referencing one of Turkey′s most valuable and prodigious natural resources in the realm of jurispru-dence: Professor Dr. Nuray Eksi. Professor Dr. Eksi brought together in time
and space, in a single room but with diverse voices, ali of the contributors to this project from such diverse nationalities. The conceptual and logistical management of this task were daunting indeed. Professor Dr. Eksfs vision in the discipline of international dispute resolution and peerless academic accomplishments appear to make possible that which seems endemically impossible. The gathering of these diverse jurists from foreign lands is an example of such an accomplishment.
