"This wonderful book offers a rich and textured analysis of the establishment, procedures, and jurisprudence of the EECC. Synthesizing all relevant awards by topic and then appending all relevant awards and decisions, the book is likely to become the definitive source on the EECC. With friends like Murphy, Kidane, and Snider, the EECC might gain far more prominence than it currently enjoys." -Roger Alford, American Journal of International Law
