New paper by Dr. M. Łągiewska: “International Dispute Resolution of BRI-Related Cases: Changes and Challenges”

We are glad to inform, that the "Journal of Contemporary China" (Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, IF: 3,126) has just published a paper “International Dispute Resolution of BRI-Related Cases: Changes and Challenges” by Dr. Magdalena Łągiewska (Department of Public International Law).

As the author wrote in the abstract: 

"Xi Jinping launched the One Belt and One Road Initiative at the end of 2013, known now as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This article aims to outline trends in solving BRI-related disputes with a special focus on China–Africa Joint Arbitration Centres, the China International Commercial Court, and the International Commercial Dispute Prevention and Settlement Organization. This begs the question of whether the newly emerging institutions in China will significantly affect the international dispute resolution landscape. Are those new entities strong and transparent enough to compete with already well-known and recognized international institutions? China takes actions to provide an entire range of services to solve BRI-related cases and proposes an innovative and holistic approach to cross-border disputes stemming from the BRI".
