The proliferation of these ‘cosmopolitan institutions’ suc h as international arbitral tribunals pushes global legal scholars to find new definitions and methodologies to approach globalization\, to move awa y from the exclusive standpoint of legal norms to the standpoint of the ac tors themselves and their legal practices. It may offer a ‘decentering ’ approach to the study of globalization.\n \n How precisely arbitratio n as a field should be conceptualized? Has arbitration become part of a tr ansnational non-state regulatory regime — a new ‘lex mercatoria’ out side the political structures of national States? What is the origin of ar bitration? What is the value of arbitration? What is the legitimacy of arb itration?\n \n This workshop brings a group of distinguished scholars fro m different jurisdictions and disciplines to explore the various dimension s of arbitration from philosophical\, historical\, cultural and economic p erspectives. It intends to provide a space for debate\, engagement and ex ploration of ideas\, breaking through conventional sub-disciplinary bounda ries — legal history\, comparative law\, jurisprudence\, legal anthropol ogists\, law and economics and other areas of substantive interest.\n \n Keynote Speaker: \n \n Prof. Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler\, Professor of La w\, University of Geneva\; Director of the Geneva LLM in International Dis pute Settlement\n \n Panel Speakers:\n \n \n Prof. Bruno Deffains\, Pr ofessor of Law and Economics\, University Paris 2 Panthéon Assas\n \n Prof. Tony Cole\, Senior Lecturer\, Brunel Law School\n \n Prof. Kun Fa n\, Assistant Professor\, Faculty of Law\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong\; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-Yenching Institute (2012-2013)\n \n D r.
