About this product: This is the first textbook to focus on consensual approaches to resolving private and public international conflicts. Global conflict is one of the predominant characteristics of the twenty-first century. Whether arising in the form of transborder legal disputes between individual parties or at a broader social and political level among nation-states, groups, and communities, conflict is pervasive. Consensual processes are essential because of the limitations of domestic judicial processes and the lack of a binding international public process. In consensual processes such as negotiation and mediation, decisionmaking belongs to the parties. This book emphasizes the significance of culture in the analysis and resolution of public and private sector conflicts. It also considers how the processes used in private, commercial consensual dispute resolution differ in the public context.

About this product: For many parties to international contracts, arbitration has proven to be an effective means of dispute resolution. Too many of these agreements, however, still founder on the rock of a defective dispute resolution clause. This text shows practitioners how to avoid this common obstacle by drafting comprehensive contract provisions at the outset. With this updated edition, lawyers and business people will negotiate contracts that ensure a clear-cut resolution of any dispute likely to arise. Taking into account the many significant developments in the law and practice of international arbitration that have occurred during the years since the first edition, it offers: contract-drafting advice derived from the authors' wide practical experience; model clauses that ensure the effectiveness of dispute resolution provisions, and avoid their pitfalls; and important reference materials.
About this product: ADR is not merely a substitute for court proceedings or arbitration, but a method of dispute settlement in its own right. In ADR proceedings, the parties call upon a third party not for a decision, but for assistance in reaching an agreement. As a result, ADR is not only less expensive and usually quicker than other methods, but it is capable of giving both parties some degree of satisfaction. The purpose of this book is precisely to look at ADR on its own terms as a way of resolving business disputes, particularly at the international level. Drawing upon diverse approaches, ADR experts from a variety of countries explore the situations to which ADR lends itself and the different permutations it offers to allow each dispute to be handled in the manner most fitting to the circumstances. The contributors also show how ADR serves such important considerations as the interests involved, the need to avoid a public display of differences, and the wish to anticipate problems. By throwing new light on the achievements of ADR and the possibilities it offers, this book will help to situate ADR amongst the panoply of dispute resolution methods now available to the international business community. Practitioners faced with drafting a dispute resolution clause in a contract, or dealing with a dispute which has arisen, will find expert guidance here when deciding which method of resolution to adopt, or whether a combination of procedures would be appropriate. Academics will discover a very useful volume which not only deals with many of the issues raised by ADR, in particular its relationship with arbitration, but also provides material for comparative study of how these issues have been approached and treated until now in various regions of the world, cultures and backgrounds.
