The Atlanta International Arbitration Society: 5th Annual Conference
Presented By: Atlanta International Arbitration Society (ATLAS)
| Event | The Atlanta International Arbitration Society: 5th Annual Conference
A decade has passed since the publication of The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century, by Thomas Friedman. The title was a metaphor for viewing the world as a level-playing field, especially in business. Friedman maintained that historical and geographical divisions are becoming increasingly irrelevant in a global market. Yet the backlash against trade agreements, the rise of politicians and political movements with anti-globalist agendas, and Brexit perhaps suggest a not-so-flat world. This conference will explore both the “flattening” and centrifugal forces at work in international arbitration and their implications for practitioners, arbitral institutions, and businesses engaged in cross-border commerce. |
