Why Law & Anthropology?

The vast anthropological literature on alternative dispute resolution is often overlooked by legal academics and to a larger extent by legal practitioners. As international arbitration practice takes its place as the leading global technique for alternative resolution of commercial and trade disputes, its relationships with different national legal orders can become increasingly strained unless managed correctly. The combination of law and anthropology offers unique insight into the interactions between the main stakeholders and social actors in international arbitration.
