Full Description
This book is the 10th volume of Contemporary Issues in Mediation (CIIM), a thought-leadership publication edited by Singapore's leading experts on mediation and negotiation, Professor Joel Lee and Marcus Lim. Each volume of CIIM compiles the top submissions from the annual mediation essay competition organised by the Singapore International Mediation Institute, presenting cutting-edge perspectives on mediation and dispute resolution.Unlike most publications that adopt a primarily descriptive approach, CIIM distinguishes itself by introducing an evaluative component to the study of mediation concepts and practices. It pushes the boundaries of mediation thought and theory, offering readers both depth and novelty. The essays featured in this volume cover a diverse range of topics, carefully selected for their high-quality research and originality, making CIIM a unique and valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners.The success of the past nine volumes reflects the growing global interest in mediation. With the coming into force of the Singapore Convention on Mediation in 2020, mediation is taking a permanent place in the dispute resolution landscape. CIIM contributes to this development by supporting the establishment of mediation as a profession underpinned by robust standards and practices.
