This edited volume presents research and policy insights into the theory
and practice of dispute systems reform in diverse jurisdictions. It
highlights how important extra-judicial mechanisms are for resolving
cross-border disputes, as evidenced both by the breadth of scholarship
dedicated to the issue and the proliferation of parties resorting to
non-litigious dispute resolution mechanisms in recent years.
Drawing on selected case studies, the book examines the impact of
comparative research and policy analysis in advancing reform of dispute
resolution institutions at both the regional and global levels. It
explores the challenges and opportunities of understanding and assessing
developments in systems of dispute resolution in diverse social and
political contexts through comparative research.
With a growing number of disputes which have come to involve
cross-border issues, anyone interested in transnational and comparative
dispute resolution will find this book a useful reference.
