The Chinese-language edition of Arbitration in China: A Legal and Cultural Analysis (Hart Publishing, 2013), translated by the author. Combining theoretical discussion with practice-oriented research, it sets Chinese arbitration against the background of globalisation and compares it with international cross-border arbitration practice. It examines the gaps between legislation and judicial practice — the law on paper and the law in action — and uses arbitration as a case study of how globalisation and localisation interact in legal development.
Kun Fan serves as arbitrator and mediator in international commercial and domain name disputes, working in English, Chinese and French.
