Asia Arbitration Guide

The Asia Arbitration Guide (8th Edition) by Andreas Respondek is a legal reference published by De Gruyter that outlines arbitration rules and legal framework conditions across Asian jurisdictions. Designed for arbitration practitioners, in-house counsel, law faculty, and law students, this 312-page volume provides direct comparative entry points into regional dispute resolution regulations.

Coverage spans major Asian economic and legal centers, examining statutory environments in jurisdictions such as China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The volume also addresses arbitration frameworks in South and Southeast Asian nations including Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, alongside institutional mechanisms at the Chinese European Arbitration Centre in Hamburg.

A defining feature of this 8th edition is that every included country report has been revised and updated to reflect recent legal developments. The guide supports legal researchers and practitioners evaluating cross-border dispute resolution procedures across diverse regional legal systems.
