It has become common to speak of international commercial arbitration since the early 20th century. Development and growth in the interdependence of the global economy and forces of globalization has help boost the concept of international commercial arbitration. Today, economic and business experts, states the fact that no business is purely local, as even the smallest local firms get affected by global events. Globalization has helped eliminate barrier and people are more connected than they were even before. Advanced technology and transportation has also fueled and speed up the connectivity process.
The migration of idea, artifacts, and people has been a constant part of human history but what happens to be new is the rapidity with which such migration are now accomplished and the relative weakness of barriers to them. Together with the reduction of barriers comes a global competition and in today’s world all business are international. Globalization means more competition, which means that a nation’s investment, production and innovation are not limited by national borders. No longer can an economic or political change in one country occur without causing effects throughout the world market. For example a terrorist attack in New York will affect the international stock markets. A civil war in Africa will push up the price of commodities in the international market.

2.2.5. Difference between a domestic arbitration and international arbitration
The modern view is that arbitration is governed by the law of the place in which it takes place. Therefore, in that sense, all arbitration taking place within a State is a domestic arbitration in that State. However, many States draw a distinction between arbitrations that are considered to be domestic and those that are considered to be international. One of the consequences is that the dispute must be international in nature, which is, it should be between parties from two different national laws. Another one is to consider the nature of the transaction; does it involve a transaction that is either in a State other than the place of arbitration or that takes place in two or more States.
Throughout the years there has been limitless legal cases presented to the court systems. All cases are not the same. Some cases vary from decisions that are made by a single judge, while other cases decisions are made by a jury. As cases are presented they typically start off as disputes, misunderstandings, or failure to comply among other things. It is possible to settle some cases outside of the courts, but that does require understanding and cooperation by all parties involved. However, for those that are not so willing to settle out of court, they eventually visit the court system. The court system is not in existence to cause humiliation for anyone, but more so to offer a helping hand from a legal prospective. At the same time, the legal system is not to be abuse. or misused either.
This report is set to outline and highlight key developments in a very important piece of law “Federal Arbitration Act” which is also commonly known as FAA. In order to look at the FAA in detail which was developed in late 1925, first let’s see what the word Arbitration mean. In simple words, Arbitration is known be to a very informal, private and isolated process in which all participating parties agree to hand in their disputes and problems in writing to one or more independent parties who are sanctioned to resolve the problem or issue. If someone ask you a question to define the act of Arbitration or what does it mean, most of us will have one of the following opinion:
Globalization and the advance of technology in the last two decades as well as the growing role of the Internet and social media in the interactions of people have brought up the changes never seen before. For many the world has become a “smaller place” where distance and borders are hardly an obstacle anymore for conducting business or traveling. Thanks to improvements in transportation, we are able to cross borders with ease and go to any place on earth in a matter of hours.
The development of free-market economics has, since the 18th century, resulted in the spread of a set of ideas, creeds and practices all over the developed and much of the developing world. Today, the globalisation of trade, capital, technology and innovation has accelerated competitive conditions for businesses all over the world. Globalisation may be defined as the opening of markets to the forces of neoliberalism and capitalism; it is characterised by the free movement of people, talent, skills, capital (intellectual, social and economic) across international borders. All kinds of barriers have either been swept away, diffused or made obsolete by the forces of globalisation: trade barriers, subsidies, geographical boundaries, linguistic and cultural differences. Technological advancements have pulled the world closer and, in the process, affected how labour relations and worker/employer relations operate and develop. The multinational corporation as well as the public sector alike are affected by global competition.
The introduction of the Internet has represented a wave of global change amongst society. It has changed a large scale of aspects; socially, economically and culturally. It has caused society to change how they carry out day to day activities and how they communicate. Many academics would suggest that the world has essentially become a much smaller place as forms of global communication have evolved and is now quicker and easier than ever. The internet ‘has the unique ability to transmit information and build relationships among large groups of physically disconnected individuals’. (Pasek: 2009:6)
ADR holds an extensive, easily influenced and diverging choice of processes for finding solutions for disputes which are personified by structured negotiation and consensus. It is regarded that arbitration is a familiar ADR technique, however, it is a more of a official adjudicative and adversary technique initially a confidential litigation process which has more commonality to litigation than the more original consensual processes which symbolise ADR. As simplified by Angyal (Alternative Dispute Resolution, 1987, p. 11):
In the world of commerce, employment, and other social relations, businesses and individuals strive to choose either arbitration or mediation (conciliation). There are situations when parties submit their cases to arbitration bodies for mediation and, vice versa, when mediators are requested to resolve the dispute through the arbitration award. The arbitration and mediation traditions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but their general ideas still remain similar. However, while a mediator in a single process possesses no entitled authority to render an award, an arbitrator is vested with more procedural powers and can execute a mediator’s functions. Furthermore, despite the flexibility of arbitration and mediation procedures, as well
The concepts of time-space compression and time-space distanciation can help explain the changing nature of our globalized world. The innovation of new technologies in transportation and communications have helped increase and speed up global interactions around the world. New technologies have allowed people to cross into and interact in new social spaces around the world, allowing for the accumulation of new cultural, social, and political values. The accumulation of these new cultural and social values allows for people to move more freely in these new places and allows them to connect with people in new ways, that may have otherwise been unavailable to them. The transparency of our world has increased as it has become more globalized, making it easier to pinpoint places around the globe that lack certain technologies prohibiting them from crossing into new spaces.
The term ‘Globalization’ refers to the integration of economies, industries, markets, cultures and policy-making around the globe. It explains a progression by which both national and regional economies, societies, and cultures have become incorporated through the universal system of commerce, communication, migration and transportation. Globalization can be explained in economic and sociological contexts. Malcolm Waters, in his book– ‘Globalization’ writes that “Globalization is a social process in which the constraints of geography on economic, political, social and cultural arrangements recede, in which people become increasingly aware that they are receding and in which people act accordingly.” Whereas, Nobel laureate and economist Joseph Stiglitz in his book ‘Globalization and Its Discontents’ says that ”Globalization is the closer integration of the countries and peoples of the world.brought about by the enormous reduction of costs of transportation and communication, and the breaking down of people across the borders."
Migration is a basic and necessary human element. Throughout history it has played a vital role in human evolution. Migratory tendencies have brought together all the continents around the world helping to establish the modern world as we know it today. During the “Short” 20th Century we see a period that witnessed many mass migrations at the hands of several different factors. In this essay I will further discuss these factors and provide evidence. Also I will touch on some of the effects that migration has and how globalization goes hand in hand with migration.
The interrelation and the integration of people, companies, governments and nations can be described as globalization. Globalization was produced due to international trade and investments with the help of technology. In today’s world, globalization is very essential. Advancements and technology help the process needed for globalization. Many countries and organizations similarly are affected by this phenomenon, on the other hand, smaller countries have benefited from larger contributors to the world’s market.
The term globalization is one that is an exceptionally wide-ranging term and it is used to explain a wide variety of definitions. Many people link the term globalization with the how the world is connected on an international and a local scale. One example of this is how Inda and Rosaldo illustrate globalization as being in “a world full of movement and mixture, contact and linkages, and persistent cultural interaction and exchange” (Inda and Rosaldo 4). On the other hand, they also imply that although movement and connections are prime components of globalization, disconnection and exclusion also form globalization (Inda and Rosaldo 30). Global flows of economic and social structures are not fluid and constant; they have the power to exclude and immobilize as well as enhance movement and include certain beings. In the 60s, the term `global village' was used by Ma...
Over the last couple of years, the world has become increasingly globalized. After the cold war, all parts of the world were attracted to the process of globalization. The effect of globalization is uneven in different parts of the world and globalization suggests a world full of persistent cultural interaction and exchange, contacts and connection, mixture and movement. Different people view globalization in different ways. Some people feel it has done more good than harm, while others believe it has done more harm than good. This essay will give a deep intuitive understanding of globalization, world systems, and how globalization has affected society, culture, economics, and politics.
Globalization’s history is extremely diversified and began during the beginning of civilization. Now we live in a world that is constantly evolving, demanding people to use resources in locations that are very difficult to obtain certain resources. This could make it completely impossible to operate in these specific parts of the world. However, globalization allows people across the world to acquire much needed resources. Globalization creates the opportunity for businesses to take advantage and exploit the ability to take part of their business to a different country. Nevertheless, globalization is part of today’s society and will be involved in virtually all situations.
