Abstract

The importance of courts is shrinking. This is largely due to global dejudicialization: the process of outsourcing disputes to private dispute resolution. In the last several decades, along with the triumph of neoliberalism, privatization of the resolution of disputes has become the gospel of modern judiciaries. Courts have been pushed to the tail end of the private adjudication process and are used only as the last resort. The courts’ warm embrace of this structure along with practitioners’ push has led to a staggering expansion of private dispute resolution. The world therefore has witnessed an unprecedented growth of arbitration—the primary mode of private dispute resolution.
