The Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business

International Mediation

Edited by Christian Campbell

About this book:

In this volume of  The Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business, Volume published under the auspices of the Center for Legal International Studies, lawyers from different jurisdictions examine developments relating not only to the framework for cross-border mediation, such as the Singapore Convention or inter-State disputes, but also to specific issues, such as mediator ethics and conflicts of interest, even exploring the neural science of conflict dynamics. One response has been the proliferation of mediation process between disputing parties and interactive negotiation assisted by a neutral third party using specialized negotiation and communication techniques. While mediation is not focused on the identification and application of legal rights and duties in the way that adjudication is, its success remains dependent on a legal framework that is still evolving in most jurisdictions and especially across borders.
