With globalisation emerging more profoundly there will be a sharp increase in the number of antitrust claims. As a result, arbitration can be promising to resolve such disputes. Both arbitration and competition law belong to different spheres of private and public laws of enforcement. Though, there still exists a potential scope of interaction between competition and arbitration. There has been different perspective prevailing all over the globe over the arbitrability of such claims. Competition law objectives stems from public interest where else arbitration as a mechanism values the private interest of the parties. This essay attempts to examine the efficiency of arbitration to resolve antitrust claims. It provides an analysis of the Mitsubishi and Eco Swiss, the groundbreaking judgments of the USA and EU which brough arbitrability of antitrust disputes in the picture. It further examines that the emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific and their rulings with respect to arbitrability of antitrust claims. There exists a growing divergence in Asian Pacific laws of the countries globally. They seem to be either at cross-roads with the decisions of the USA and EU or they still have not dealt with the private law enforcement of antitrust disputes. By means of settlement through arbitration in their legislations or decisions of their national courts so far.
