‘The book contains 10 chapters across 170 pages, wherein Ferrari et al. do an excellent job of introducing the uninitiated to “internationalist” perspectives of the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards, greatly simplifying the topic to ensure the reader’s comprehension. However, experts in this area of law will equally enjoy the extensive comparative jurisprudence that is drawn upon in the book. Besides, it makes for a very interesting read: I finished it in just two days!’
