Abstract
This dissertation conducts an analysis of third-party funding in international arbitration, divided into four main parts, one per chapter, each addressing a specific aspect of third-party funding: the legal and historical background of third-party funding, the concept of third-party funding, current rules and regulations governing third-party funding in international arbitral institutions, and conflict-of-interest and disclosure issues. In order to provide guidance on the proper use of third-party funding in international arbitration, the dissertation also aims to establish a Conflict Check and Disclosure System for third-party funding in international arbitration. By addressing these concerns, parties involved in international arbitration can use third-party funding as a valuable tool to pursue their legal claims without incurring substantial expenses and financial risks related to the process.
