Abstract	As arbitration-mediation (Arb-Med) gains traction and becomes increasingly institutionalised, concerns about both the neutrality and impartiality of the arbitrator-mediator have been mounting. Pundits often aver that Arb-Med disfigures core values of, and fundamental tenets of, arbitration. We beg to differ. While scholars have not been neither coy nor bashful in overtly decrying Arb-Med, there is a perceived paucity of research on the role that disputants’ principle of self-determination plays in the purview of Arb-Med. Put differently, the principle of self-determination must be parsed in conjunction with disputants’ cultural background. This stands as one central contention of this article. Against this background, this article seeks to demonstrate that a fine-grained attention must be paid to disputants’ cultural background in both Arb-Med process and expedited arbitration settings when they blend together. The foundational principle of self-determination — a linchpin of the Arb-Med process — ought to be painted in a glaringly different light accordingly.
