International Соmmercial Arbitration Review Renews with Its 10th Anniversary Issue
The International Commercial Arbitration Review (ICAR) celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2014.
It is the only Russian journal specialised exclusively on problems of international commercial and investment arbitration and mediation. The journal is the successor the International Commercial Arbitration journal, which has been published since 2004 and achieved a high reputation among Russian and foreign specialists.
The journal appears in Russian and English. Publication of the journal was interrupted in 2013 but renewed by the anniversary date. The new issue of ICAR (1(8)2014) was presented to its audience on 16 October at the conference “Arbitration in Russia: New Solutions for Business” organised by Publishing House “Kommersant” and the Russian Arbitration Association.
Now the journal publisher is Tsifra Zakona with support of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation and its International Commercial Arbitration Court and several law firms: Muranov, Chernyakov and Partners, White & Case, Debevoise & Plimpton. CIS Arbitration Forum is an information partner of the journal.
To date this is the only Russian periodical publication specialised on problems of international arbitration. The Editorial board includes leading Russian and foreign specialists in the field of international commercial arbitration.
“The mission of the journal remains unchanged” – notes member of the Editorial board Alexander Muranov – “to be a reliable source of interesting and useful information on international commercial and investment arbitration, a forum for discussion about its urgent problems, to promote the development of international arbitration as an important form of international commercial dispute resolution”.
“Trends in the development of the global economy show that international commercial arbitration not only remains, but becomes a more and more popular and demanded means of dispute resolution in the area of international commerce. In this connection publication of a journal focused on international arbitration issues in Russia is very important” – comments Alexei Zhiltsov, editor in chief of the Review.
