Arbitration.ru Issue #13, October 2019

The focus of this issue is arbitration in Kazakhstan. This country rarely appears in hot news blocks but is very rich in mineral resources. It is also sometimes called the geographical “buckle” of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, with the latter first announced by Xi Jinping in the then Astana in 2013. Numerous joint international projects in mining and construction that had been launched in the last decades gave rise to international arbitrations, and related national legislation is undergoing reforms. We offer a bird’s eye view on this and other topics.

• An update on national legislation in Kazakhstan, arbitral institutions and landmark cases by Alexander Korobeinikov and Yana Levkut, Baker Mc Kenzie Almaty (p. 6).
