La nouvelle géopolitique de l’arbitrage | The New Geopolitcs of Arbitration

Presentation

This conference explores how shifting geopolitical dynamics are reshaping international arbitration.
Global tensions, sanctions regimes, and strategic competition between States are increasingly influencing dispute resolution.
Arbitration is no longer a neutral technical tool alone, but a field affected by power politics and economic sovereignty.
The rise of new arbitration hubs and the repositioning of traditional centers reflect a changing global order.
Particular attention will be given to State involvement, public policy considerations, and national security concerns.
Speakers will examine the impact of geopolitical risk on arbitral institutions, tribunals, and enforcement.
The conference will also address the role of arbitration in safeguarding international investment and trade.
Practitioners will discuss how parties adapt their strategies in an era of uncertainty and fragmentation.
Comparative perspectives will highlight regional approaches and emerging legal alignments.
Ultimately, the conference aims to assess arbitration’s future role in a geopolitically contested world.

The conference is bilingual (French and English).
