This work begins then with the dimensions of that "consent" which alone can justify arbitral jurisdiction. The discussion is then carried forward to explore how party autonomy in the contracting process may be expanded, giving rise to the voluntary reallocation of authority between courts and arbitrators. It concludes with the necessary inquiry into the autonomy with respect to the "chosen law" that will govern the agreement to arbitrate itself SN - 9004388915 LA - English N1 - Alan Scott Rau ID - 1041349572 ER -
