Dispute Resolution: Negotiation, Mediation, and Other Processes

With its broad, comprehensive coverage and direct, accessible approach, "Dispute Resolution": Negotiation, Mediation, and Other Processes, Third Edition, is ideally suited for use in the traditional ADR survey course.

For each of the three main branches of alternative dispute resolution -- negotiation, mediation, and arbitration -- the authors:

-- critically examine the branch and its "hybrid" offshoots

-- present careful explanations giving students a solid foundation for future practice.

-- describe and analyze applications and their appropriate environments

-- present hypothetical exercises that allow students to evaluate the technique

Scrupulously updated for its Third Edition, the book now offers:

-- new social science findings on the effectiveness of mediation

-- new coverage of mediation regulation

-- a new section on mediation in the context of cultural differences

-- more detailed treatment of ethics issues

-- timely material on malpractice liability and non-union arbitration

-- a new appendix providing a Research Guide to ADR
