Mediation provides an attractive alternative to resolving disputes through court proceedings. Mediation promises just results in the interest of all parties concerned, a reduction of the court caseload, and cost savings for the parties involved as well as for the treasury. The European Directive on Mediation has given mediation in Europe new momentum by establishing a common framework for cross-border mediation. Beyond Europe, many states have tried in recent years to answer the question whether, and if so, how mediation should be regulated at a national and international level. The aim of this book is to promote the understanding and discussion of regulatory issues by presenting comparative...

The history of international dispute resolution is long and complex. Peaceful dispute resolution can forestall conflict, promote peace, and provide a framework for co-operation amongst nations.

This collection of essays by distinguished scholars and practitioners commemorates and expands upon Caron's work by exploring the work of international dispute resolution institutions and conventions, including the Permanent Court of Arbitration...
