Abstract
This is Chapter 3 of the second edition of the book, Principles and Practices of International Arbitration, published by Cambridge University Press. This chapter discusses the basic issues involved in drafting an arbitration clause, including the essential requirements for a sucessful clause, additional provisions for specific circumstances and situations, and tips on avoiding the pitfalls of a "pathological clause," that may invalidate the agreement or create a basis for extensive disputes.
