'One of the great strengths of this remarkable book is that it makes use of countless new documents and archival research – such as unpublished ICC arbitral awards, rare periodicals, and all successive versions of the ICC Rules of Arbitration – to retrace the modern history and evolution of international commercial arbitration. Through this in-depth research, Dr. Schinazi is able to explore the field's inner dynamics. An elegantly written book, The Three Ages is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of international arbitration and international law in the making.'
