Dispute Resolution in Asia

Dispute Resolution in Asia is one of few titles to deal exclusively with the Asian region. The examination of dispute resolution in ten countries provides a much wider spectrum of Asian laws and approaches than is traditional in comparative studies. Furthermore, the country studies in this work are not limited to arbitration or litigation but also examine mediation in each country. 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 ten countries examined in the book are all important trading countries or destinations for foreign investment. The contributors to this publication consist of an impressive group of senior lawyers, international arbitrators, academics and directors of arbitration centres with considerable experience in the field. Their work taken together presents an interesting and varied examination of the rules on dispute resolution in the fastest growing region in the world.

This book will be of interest to international business people and lawyers, as well as to students of dispute resolution.
