Wayne Clark shares his fifty years’ experience in international construction projects, contract management and dispute resolution. The overarching theme of the book is that parties should strive to find sensible solutions that avoid unnecessary conflict. All the stages of a construction project are covered nin detail, as well as issues such as contract management, claims, settlement negotiations, alternative dispute resolution and arbitration. The author shares his experiences and insights, and also introduces the idea of the ‘shadow arbitrator’. This work is a very interesting and pragmatic guide for international arbitration practitioners.
