Features: The establishment of the China Society of Arbitration Law / China Arbitration Law Research Association marks the systematic and standardized development of research on the theory and practice of arbitration law in China, as well as the beginning and growth of research on socialist arbitration theory with Chinese characteristics. This is not only a major event for the arbitration field in China but also a significant milestone for the legal academia. The publication of Collected Works on the Theory of Socialist Arbitration Law with Chinese Characteristics is a significant achievement of the China Arbitration Law Research Association's arbitration law research series, holding pioneering significance. Engaging in research on socialist arbitration law with Chinese characteristics is a task without precedent, embodying the spirit of exploration. As the initiators of the China Arbitration Law Research Association, the fruits of our research carry the significance of entrepreneurship. As an achievement and endeavor of the China Arbitration Law Research Association, it records the efforts and explorations of our generation of arbitrators. Most importantly, it holds historical significance. The sands of time may shift, and we may grow old, but history will remember this page where we poured our hard work. The tide of, one generation surpasses the next. Future arbitrators will continue and surpass our efforts, and though we may be forgotten, our pioneering contributions to the research and establishment of socialist arbitration law theory with Chinese characteristics will never be forgotten. This brings us solace and serves as the motivation and source of our efforts.
Any research achievement requires an appropriate form of expression. Given the era's responsibility and obligation to conduct research on socialist arbitration theory with Chinese characteristics, we must dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to fulfilling this trust. We envision the establishment of the China Arbitration Law Research Association's arbitration law research series. All research organized, coordinated, or guided by the association, as well as the resulting achievements, will be published as part of this series. We can boldly say that we hope to establish the research series as a renowned brand. We can even exaggerate by saying that the research series, as an identifier and brand of the China Arbitration Law Research Association, should endure "for generations to come," unless the association dissolves or terminates.
As an arbitration law research series, we may publish various types of research works under it. For instance, we may publish a series of Collected Works on Chinese Arbitration Cases or Selected Works on Chinese Arbitration Cases in the near future. We may even publish our research achievements as a series of training textbooks for arbitrators and secretaries under the research series. The possibilities are endless, and we will adapt our methods, forms, or types of works to changing circumstances, but we will not easily alter the concept or framework of the research series.
Research on socialist arbitration law with Chinese characteristics is a novel topic, born of the era's needs, China's unique national conditions, and the implementation of reform and opening-up and a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics. The socialist market economy itself is an innovation, with no old paths to follow and no established rules to rely on. Similarly, research on socialist arbitration law with Chinese characteristics has no old paths to follow and no established rules to adhere to. Research on socialist arbitration law must revolutionize and innovate traditional arbitration concepts. Without transformation and innovation, there can be no arbitration theory research in China, and no counteracting force to guide the rapid development of China's arbitration industry.
Without correct theoretical guidance, the arbitration industry may lose its direction, becoming ensnared in the invisible web of the market economy or even stolen by its invisible hand, leaving no room for survival. However, researching socialist arbitration theory is not only a challenge and immense pressure for our generation of arbitrators but also a rare opportunity and blessing bestowed upon us by this era of reform and innovation. No matter how difficult it may be, we have no reason to hesitate in the face of such profound transformation or opportunity. Instead, we should embrace every change and challenge as a chance to advance rapidly and bravely step forward! Confront it, overcome it, and ultimately complete it with success!
This collection is divided into two volumes: the first volume is the theoretical section, and the second is the practical section. The categorization of specific articles is not entirely precise. We have placed articles that discuss issues in a more macro sense in the first volume, while those that address arbitration procedures or substantive matters more microscopically or specifically are in the second volume, aiming for a basic classification.
