Index present "This book discusses the importance of the digital economy and its most pressing challenge: the onset of quantum and critical technology. It looks at how its implementation, either on its own or coupled with artificial intelligence, impacts commercial and arbitration law. International trade and investment are increasingly being integrated within national security policy and the law to protect the nation state. A failure to safeguard personal and commercial data will allow other state and non-state actors to set the rules that do not align with the values of the rule of law and transnational rules-based system. This book argues that it is necessary to establish a principles-based approach to governing the development and use of these technologies. Chapters touch on the application of smart contracts, arbitration, as well as mergers and acquisitions and their potential weaponization in the digital economy due to their ability to transcend national security. Elements of intellectual property, particularly patents and trademarks, and how international legal instruments have directed national law making are also explored" -- Provided by the publisher Eng Arbitration and award 7968 Arbitrage (Droit) 17009 Commercial law-Data processing 17010 Information technology-Economic aspects 17011 International commercial arbitration 7085 Intellectual property International economic integration 17012 BK 143708 143708 0 0 0 0 01 01 2026-10-29 0 346.07 WAL-C 155362 2026-10-29 11:24:34 2026-10-29 BK
