Scholarship
Marco de Benito’s scholarly work spans over two decades of sustained reflection on the architecture of international dispute resolution.
El convenio arbitral (2010) examined the double force of arbitration agreements—at once substantive and procedural—and their place within a coherent theory of jurisdiction.
Justicia o burocracia (2017) diagnosed what is going wrong with civil justice in Spain and in Europe: not a failure of rules, but of purpose.
Untimely Concordance and Colloquies on European Civil Procedure (both 2025) mapped the convergence of arbitration and litigation—the slow but irreversible emergence of a transnational procedural culture.
The current project is Rethinking Civil Procedure—a critical reflection on the challenges of the international rule of law in a divided world and the culmination of a steady trajectory aiming at a unified transnational discourse.
He is also the author of The History of Law in Europe and numerous articles and book chapters in English, Spanish, and Italian.
