Case Studies and Implications on Development Strategies of International Arbitration Hub in Major Asian Countries: Focused on Singapore and Hong Kong

This study examines the development strategies of the arbitration industry in Singapore and Hong Kong, and its purpose is to provide implications for the development of the arbitration industry in South Korea. The main strategies implemented by Singapore and Hong Kong to develop the arbitration industry are as follows: first, improvement of the arbitration law system; second, active support of the government for promoting the arbitration industry; third, build up of an effective arbitration expert training system; and fourth, an arbitration-friendly attitude of the court. In order for South Korea to become an international arbitration hub in Northeast Asia, it is necessary to refer to the above-mentioned strategies. In addition, South Korea needs to develop marketing strategies that can differentiate itself from Singapore and Hong Kong, such as the development of an arbitration system in connection with the 4th Industrial Revolution, differentiation of the disputes sector, use of geographical advantages and a penetration pricing strategy, and support of the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board. In terms of marketing strategy, there are few studies on the development strategy of the arbitration industry in South Korea. In this respect, this study has academic value and differentiation.
