疫情期間，李欽把剛完工的《印度仲裁法精要》裝訂一本，寄給我先睹為快，并邀我作序。于書(shū)于人，均不忍推托。

于書(shū)而言，所著力的主題是我一直期待看到的。雖然作者自嘲“內(nèi)容比較淺顯，對(duì)仲裁專業(yè)人士而言可能入不得法眼”，但我知道這是到目前為止國(guó)內(nèi)要了解印度仲裁可資參考的第一本書(shū)。作者以投資者及為投資者服務(wù)的法律顧問(wèn)作為預(yù)設(shè)讀者對(duì)象，努力按照觀察仲裁的通常認(rèn)知框架，以問(wèn)題為導(dǎo)向，對(duì)印度仲裁中不能簡(jiǎn)單套用一般仲裁知識(shí)或國(guó)內(nèi)觀念來(lái)理解的地方做了較好的介紹。因?yàn)閺?qiáng)調(diào)實(shí)務(wù)取向，書(shū)中甚至涉及了一些其他仲裁法著作中不太會(huì)提及的內(nèi)容，比如“如何獲取印度方的相關(guān)信息”等。雖然我并不是對(duì)作者的每一點(diǎn)分析都完全認(rèn)同，但深信凡是需要了解印度仲裁相關(guān)信息的一線人員均能從中受益。對(duì)于一般的仲裁研習(xí)者，閱讀之后也會(huì)對(duì)各國(guó)仲裁的趨同性與差異性有更深切的理解。

于人而言，李欽曾是“清華大學(xué)法學(xué)院國(guó)際仲裁與爭(zhēng)端解決（IADS）”項(xiàng)目的第二期學(xué)員。這個(gè)項(xiàng)目設(shè)立初期，擔(dān)任項(xiàng)目主任的鄭若驊老師給我安了個(gè)Tutor的身份，讓我多參與。我借機(jī)旁聽(tīng)了Gary Born、Albert van den Berg等頂級(jí)專家主講的課，極大深化了對(duì)國(guó)際仲裁的理解。同時(shí)，也給學(xué)員做過(guò)實(shí)務(wù)分享，協(xié)助主持過(guò)結(jié)課口試。有次還作為學(xué)員期末模擬仲裁庭的仲裁員，感受了學(xué)員經(jīng)過(guò)課程訓(xùn)練后展示出相當(dāng)高水平的攻防對(duì)抗。記得鄭老師讓我說(shuō)幾句的時(shí)候，我用了“I come！I see！I enjoy!”表達(dá)了參與這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的諸多活動(dòng)的感受！因?yàn)橛羞@些參與，我對(duì)項(xiàng)目學(xué)員在仲裁領(lǐng)域取得的成長(zhǎng)和進(jìn)步總是由衷地感到高興，也希望中國(guó)仲裁領(lǐng)域能夠人才輩出。

寥寥數(shù)語(yǔ)，是以為序！

英文序

Lord Mustill, in one of his forewords to a book remarked that the writers of forewords often begin by saying, no doubt sincerely, how delighted they have been by the request to contribute and for him it was not only a delight but an honor too. With equal sincerity, I completely echo his words.

馬斯蒂爾勛爵在他為一本書(shū)的作序中寫(xiě)道：寫(xiě)序言的人通常會(huì)在一開(kāi)頭說(shuō)，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，他們非常地高興接到了邀請(qǐng)自己出力的請(qǐng)求，但對(duì)他而言，這不僅是一種喜悅，也是一種榮譽(yù)。對(duì)于此話，我真誠(chéng)地完全認(rèn)同。

The importance of this book can hardly be overstated. Following the adoption of Model Law by India in 1996, there have been significant amendments to the Indian Arbitration Law. The Amendments of 2015 and 2019 aim at fostering India�餾 position as a hub of International Arbitration. Since theses amendments, it would not be wrong to say that the landscape of arbitration has seen a drastic change. There is a growing realisation and a positive move of arbitrations from ad�瞙oc arbitrations to institutional arbitrations. India has recently witnessed the emergence of several arbitration institutions that aim to popularize institutional arbitration as an alternative for dispute resolution. One of the underlying objectives behind this trend is to boost confidence among foreign counterparties from jurisdictions that do not share a common law system or preference for ad�瞙oc arbitration such as China. Chinese companies doing business in India can possibly be one of the largest categories of beneficiaries from such a trend towards institutional arbitration. As the Secretary General of Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration (MCIA), one of most prestigious arbitral institutions in India, I am fortunate to be a witness to such progress and I am proud of the achievements that have been made over the years by the arbitration community in India.

這本書(shū)非常重要，重要到再怎么強(qiáng)調(diào)也不為過(guò)。繼1996年印度基于《聯(lián)合國(guó)國(guó)際貿(mào)易法委員會(huì)國(guó)際商事仲裁示范法》制定其仲裁法后，2015年和2019年的修正案都旨在加強(qiáng)印度作為國(guó)際仲裁中心的地位。自這些修正案頒布以來(lái)，印度仲裁的格局也發(fā)生了巨大的改變。越來(lái)越多的人認(rèn)識(shí)到，仲裁正經(jīng)歷著從臨時(shí)仲裁到機(jī)構(gòu)仲裁的積極轉(zhuǎn)變。最近，印度出現(xiàn)了多家仲裁機(jī)構(gòu)，旨在推廣機(jī)構(gòu)仲裁作為解決爭(zhēng)端的替代辦法。這一趨勢(shì)背后的根本目標(biāo)之一，是為了增強(qiáng)那些來(lái)自非普通法系或不偏好臨時(shí)仲裁的司法管轄區(qū)（如中國(guó)）的外國(guó)交易對(duì)手的信心。在印度開(kāi)展業(yè)務(wù)的中國(guó)公司可能是機(jī)構(gòu)仲裁這一趨勢(shì)的最大受益者之一。作為印度最具聲望的仲裁機(jī)構(gòu)之一的孟買(mǎi)國(guó)際仲裁中心(MCIA)的秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)，我很幸運(yùn)地見(jiàn)證了這一進(jìn)步，同時(shí)我也為印度仲裁界多年來(lái)取得的成就感到自豪。

Knowledge about the legal system of a counterparty�餾 home jurisdiction often boosts trust in commercial dealings. The increasing scale and complexity of economic ties between India and China has created an imperative for stakeholders to increase their awareness about the legal systems of both countries. In this context, a book that aims to educate Chinese readers about the evolution and development of Indian arbitration law is indeed a commendable and a timely initiative.

加強(qiáng)對(duì)交易對(duì)手所在國(guó)法律體系的了解，往往能夠增強(qiáng)人們?cè)谏虡I(yè)交易中的信任。隨著中印經(jīng)濟(jì)聯(lián)系的規(guī)模擴(kuò)大和復(fù)雜性增加，利益攸關(guān)方必須要加強(qiáng)對(duì)兩國(guó)法律體系的學(xué)習(xí)和認(rèn)識(shí)。因此，在這樣的背景下，出版一本旨在幫助中國(guó)讀者了解印度仲裁法演變和發(fā)展的書(shū)，的確是一項(xiàng)值得稱贊的應(yīng)時(shí)應(yīng)勢(shì)之舉。

I am honored to be one of the first readers of this book. Written by leading experts of Indian law, the book discusses and covers in detail all important facets of arbitration in India, the evolution of jurisprudence of arbitration in India against the backdrop of international practices, in a clear and sensible manner. This book is an extensive commentary on the Indian Arbitration Act, 1996 as amended in 2015 and 2019 and is a reflection of the maturity now reached by the Indian Arbitration community. It is a painstaking and diligent piece of work that can only be properly discharged by someone both familiar and competent in this field. Li Qin and Santosh Pai must be commended and congratulated for having undertaken this exercise, so well. I recommend this book to all readers interested in Indian arbitration and, in particular, to international practitioners who regularly deal with Indian companies. My only wish is to see further editions of this remarkable book.

我很榮幸能夠成為這本書(shū)的首批讀者之一。這本由印度法專家們撰寫(xiě)的書(shū)，以清晰而睿智的方式，詳細(xì)討論了印度仲裁的所有重要方面，以及在國(guó)際慣例的背景下印度仲裁法律體系的演變。它是對(duì)1996年印度《仲裁法》（2015年和2019年修訂）的廣泛評(píng)論，同時(shí)也反映了印度仲裁界目前的成熟度。它的撰寫(xiě)是一項(xiàng)艱苦和勤奮的工作，只有熟悉這一領(lǐng)域并具備相應(yīng)能力的人才能夠勝任此項(xiàng)工作。我必須贊揚(yáng)和祝賀李欽和白大山出色地完成了這項(xiàng)工作，在此，我向所有對(duì)印度仲裁感興趣的讀者，特別是經(jīng)常與印度公司打交道的國(guó)際從業(yè)者推薦這本書(shū)。我唯一的愿望是看到這部非凡作品的進(jìn)一步版本。
