Análisis De La Regulación Del Arbitraje En El Marco Del Proyecto De Código Civil Y Comercial De La Nación Desde Una Perspectiva De Derecho Comparado: ¿Una Reforma A Mitad De Camino?
DIEGO LUIS ALONSO. La legislación en materia de arbitraje en la República Argentina, hasta la fecha, se rige por las normativas contempladas en los códigos de procedimiento civil y comercial de las veinticuatro jurisdicciones provinciales que integran la República. Sin embargo, en tales códigos figuran disposiciones anacrónicas y, a menudo, contradictorias entre sí. Por ello, el legislador ha incorporado en el Proyecto de Código civil y comercial unificado, en su Título IV (dedicado a los contratos en particular), el Capítulo 29 que versa sobre el Contrato de Arbitraje. El objeto del presente estudio es analizar dicha reglamentación desde una perspectiva de derecho comparado a fin de determinar cuáles son las falencias y los aciertos de la regulación propuesta.

Latin American Arbitration and Investment Protections
JONATHAN C. HAMILTON, WHITE & CASE LLP, OMAR E. GARCÍA-BOLÍVAR, BG CONSULTING, & HERNANDO OTERO. In this introduction to their book, Latin American Investment Protections, editors Jonathan C. Hamilton, Omar E. García-Bolívar, and Hernando Otero, consider the development of Latin American investment protections and arbitration in light of the region’s unique and diverse legal, political, and economic circumstances. The introduction notes the cycles of privatization and nationalization that have driven the region’s attitudes towards foreign investment and arbitration and concludes that an effective system of investment protection and dispute resolution may help avert the serious and long-lasting political, diplomatic, and economic consequences that often are triggered by mistreatment of foreign investment.
