Global Trends in Mediation by Nadja Alexander
In its first edition, Global Trends in Mediation was the first book to concentrate on mediation from a comparative perspective - reaching beyond the all-too-familiar Anglo-American view - and as such has enjoyed wide practical use among alternative dispute resolution (ADR) practitioners worldwide. This new edition has not only been updated throughout; it has also added two new jurisdictions (France and Quebec) and a very useful comparative table summarising the salient points from each of the fourteen jurisdictional chapters. The unique value of the book for practitioners resides in (among other things) the following: and#8226; coverage of both common law and civil law jurisdictions; and#8226; attention to the diversity of legal cultures and systems on four continents; and#8226; a richer analysis of mediation models, standards, laws and practices than is available in other publications; and and#8226; a much wider spectrum of mediation laws and approaches worldwide than is traditional in comparative studies. A comprehensive introductory chapter establishes an international comparative framework for an analysis of the national chapters that follow, synthesising the main themes of the book and analysing global and systemic trends.andquot;Global Trends is a book which provides a comprehensive overview of mediation in 14 jurisdictions.As well as being a wonderful resource, it provides a context for valuing and challenging the familiar mediation systems of home, wherever that may be.andquot;
andquot;Global Trends in Mediation is a book which contributes significantly to the emergence of a 'collective consciousness' of mediation while enabling a glocalisation of the mediation movement: 'think globally, act locally. It is a book to be re-read for new information, nuances and inspiration as each topical issue arises.andquot;
