,,Arbitration: The Art & Science of Persuasion" ist eine kurzweilige und gebündelte Darstellung der relevantesten verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Einflüsse im Schiedsverfahren und dient insbesondere Einsteigern als hilfreiche guideline für die effektive Arbeit im Blick auf erste Mandate. Auch für Fortgeschrittene liefert das Buch auf 218 Seiten interessante Anhaltspunkte zur Reflexion eigens angewendeter Taktiken. Grundsätzlich ermöglicht die Arbeit von Donald Vinson und Klaus Reichert eine erfrischend neue und ebenso elementare Sicht auf das Schiedsverfahren. Diese Einblicke sollten für alle Praktiker von großem Interesse sein.
