Author Description

Dispute Resolution in Asia is one of few titles to deal exclusively with the Asian region. The examination of dispute resolution in 10 countries provides a much wider spectrum of Asian laws and approaches than is traditional in comparative studies. Furthermore, country studies are not limited to arbitration or litigation but also examine mediation in each of these countries. The introductory chapter presents an overview of dispute resolution throughout Asia and examines the interesting question of whether there is an 'Asian' style of dispute resolution. The 10 countries examined in the book are all important trading countries or destinations for foreign investment. The contributors to this publication are senior lawyers, international arbitrators, academics and directors of arbitration centres with considerable experience in the field. The book will be of interest to international business people and lawyers, as well as to students of dispute resolution.
