The incorporation of technology in arbitration processes, including artificial intelligence and digital tools, is gaining traction, highlighting the need for innovation in dispute resolution methods. - Human Rights and ESG Considerations in Arbitration:

The practice of interim measures and the role of emergency arbitration are receiving heightened attention, reflecting the need for timely and effective dispute resolution mechanisms in urgent situations.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Jurisdictional Issues:
Discussions surrounding conventional jurisdictional challenges in arbitration have become less prominent, possibly due to the increasing standardization of arbitration rules and practices that address these concerns more effectively. - Corruption and Arbitration:
Analysis of corruption in arbitration, while still significant, appears to be waning as a standalone theme, as more comprehensive frameworks and discussions about integrity in arbitration are emerging. - Regional Focus on Specific Jurisdictions:
There has been a noticeable reduction in papers focusing exclusively on specific regional arbitration practices, as the journal broadens its scope to include more global and comparative perspectives. - Historical Perspectives on Arbitration:
The examination of historical contexts and past arbitration cases, though valuable, is being gradually overshadowed by contemporary issues that require immediate attention and analysis.
