Resumo: | Objective: Over the past decade, arbitration has grown in popularity as a method of resolving commercial disputes worldwide. However, this practice is relatively new in Macao SAR. Recently, official plans were announced to make Macao as a seat of arbitration for commercial disputes between China and Portuguese-speaking countries (Hereinafter PSCs). This article is dedicated to explores the possibility of Macao undertaking and implementing such a role. Accordingly, this article addresses the following issues: What are the strengths and weaknesses of Macao as a seat and eventually as venue for hosting international commercial arbitration between Chinese and PSCs entrepreneurs?Methodology: A mixed-method approach of legal doctrinal and empirical research was used in this article. We first included a thorough study of the concept of arbitration followed by analysis of various legal journals and legislations, including Macao, China, and PSCs’ arbitration laws. An empirical research was then used to collect data by surveying and interviewing with both lawyers and arbitration practitioners from Macao, China and PSCs.Results: This article argues that the strength of Macao resides in the similarities between its legal system and that of the China and PSCs and the languages advantage (Chinese and Portuguese both official languages). In spite of this, arbitration is still relatively underutilized in the region, and there is a limited number of arbitrators and legal professionals with bilingual proficiency.Contributions: This article contributes to the identification of the opportunities and challenges that Macao faces in its potential future development as a seat/venue of arbitration between China and the PSCs. |

Sin embargo, esta práctica es relativamente nueva en Macao RAE. Recientemente, planes oficiales fueron anunciados para hacer de Macao el mediador (árbitro) para disputas comerciales entre China y los países de habla Portuguesa (en adelante PSCs). Este artículo se dedica a explorar la posibilidad de que Macao pueda asimilar y asumir dicho rol. Respectivamente, este artículo trata los siguientes puntos: Cuáles son las fortalezas y debilidades de Macao como sitio, y eventualmente, como anfitrión para albergar eventos internacionales en los que haga de árbitro o mediador entre la gente de China y los emprendedores PSCs.Metodología: Un método que mezcla la doctrina legal con la investigación empírica fue usado en este artículo. Primero incluimos un estudio exhaustivo del concepto de arbitraje seguido por un análisis de varias revistas especializadas en leyes y un análisis de legislaciones. Estos incluyen Macao, China y PSCs leyes de arbitraje. La Investigación empírica fue entonces usada para recolectar datos a través de entrevistas y encuestas a abogados así como practicantes del arbitraje en Macao, China y PSCs. Resultados: Este artículo argumenta que la fortaleza de Macao consiste en las similitudes entre su sistema legal con el de China y PSCs. También resulta ventajoso el hecho de que Macao domina dos idiomas (Chino y Portugués como lenguas oficiales). A pesar de esto, el proceso de arbitraje es todavía relativamente subutilizado en la región y entonces existen un número limitado de árbitros (mediadores) y profesionales de las leyes con capacidad bilingüe. Contribuciones: Este artículo se propone a identificar las oportunidades y desafíos que Macao confronta en un futuro potencial, en el que la región se ve como participante y anfitrión del arbitraje entre China y el PSCs.Instituto para o Desenvolvimento da Educacao (Centro Universitário Christus - Unichristus)2023-02-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEmpirical Method: interviewapplication/pdfapplication/xmlhttps://periodicos.unichristus.edu.br/opiniaojuridica/article/view/450410.12662/2447-6641oj.v21i36.p181-204.2023Revista Opinião Jurídica (Fortaleza); Vol. 21 No. 36 (2023); 181-204Revista Opinião Jurídica (Fortaleza); Vol. 21 Núm. 36 (2023); 181-204Revista Opinião Jurídica (Fortaleza); Vol. 21 No 36 (2023); 181-204Revista Opinião Jurídica (Fortaleza); v. 21 n. 36 (2023); 181-2042447-66411806-042010.12662/2447-6641oj.v21i36.2023reponame:Revista Opinião Jurídica (Fortaleza)instname:Centro Universitário Christus (Unichristus)instacron:UNICHRISTUSenghttps://periodicos.unichristus.edu.br/opiniaojuridica/article/view/4504/1701https://periodicos.unichristus.edu.br/opiniaojuridica/article/view/4504/1728Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Opinião Jurídica (Fortaleza)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSi, Leung CheokDiakite, Ansoumane Douty2023-04-05T12:51:53Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/4504Revistahttps://periodicos.unichristus.edu.br/opiniaojuridicaPRIhttps://periodicos.unichristus.edu.br/opiniaojuridica/oaiopiniaojuridica01@unichristus.edu.br || secretaria.oj@unichristus.edu.br2447-66411806-0420opendoar:2023-04-05T12:51:53Revista Opinião Jurídica (Fortaleza) - Centro Universitário Christus (Unichristus)false |
