Global Trends in Dispute Resolution Arbitration and Mediation in the Southern Mediterranean Countries, Book 2, (Hardcover)

In this highly informative and very useful book, thirty-three local experts describe the ongoing process of adopting and adapting modern techniques of dispute resolution for economic and commercial matters in Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, and the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Each chapter illustrates multiple techniques, including court processes as well as arbitration and mediation processes, against the backdrop of economic and legislative changes that have occurred region-wide since the late twentieth century.

The country-by-country presentations are especially valuable for their emphasis on how local ADR practices deal with, or are affected by, such factors as the following:

and#8226; civil procedure codes

and#8226; international conventions

and#8226; international enforcement of awards

and#8226; appeals

and#8226; qualifications of arbitrators and mediators

and#8226; rules of local, regional, and international ADR institutions

and#8226; costs

and#8226; involvement of the judiciary

and#8226; cultural aspects

and#8226; regional and international trade agreements
