Competence-competence and corruption have, for different reasons, been mainstays of international dispute resolution thought and practice for the longest time. In the last few years, their intersection has become increasingly important and problematic. These lectures seek to define the problem and to provide acceptable solutions where possible. They attempt to derive support from both a stringent dogmatic approach and pragmatic attention to real-life expectations and conduct. More so than in other areas of private international law, the intersection between the powers of the arbitrator and the illegality of the subject matter or the parties' conduct poses a particular challenge.

The statement that bribery and corruption offend transnational or international public policy does not relieve the arbitrator from the burden of scrutinizing that statement doctrinally and exploring its consequences in a period of ever-increasing globalization of economic activity and investment

Also available as an e-book La doctrine et la jurisprudence la plus récente relèvent de plus en plus les limites de l'utilisation de la nationalité du navire dans la solution des conflits de loi et l'importance du droit uniforme.

S'agissant du contrat de travail maritime, sont mis en évidence l'affaiblissement du rôle de la nationalité du navire et l'importance croissante de la négociation collective internationale. A propos de la responsabilité extracontractuelle, c'est la lex damni qui s'applique, sauf lorsqu'il s'agit d'événements ayant lieu à bord du navire. De cette analyse, enfin, il ressort que la tendance à l'internationalisation du droit maritime et la fonction résiduelle confiée à la loi du pavillon dans la solution des conflits de lois sont confirmées
