Global Trends in Dispute Resolution Series, Volume 11 It can be said that negotiation is about what to do, whereas mediation is about how to do it—how to make sure control is in the hands of the disputants. Although mediation (as well as conciliation) is taking hold in dispute resolution worldwide, among the nations, India shows the strongest signs of interest in developing a pervasive legal mediation culture. In this invaluable book, more than 20 formidable thought leaders with global reputations in dispute resolution describe how mediation is used, and can be used, to resolve different types of disputes in India and international cases. With a focus throughout on the law and procedure applicable to conciliation and mediation in India—addressing the involvement of each of the stakeholders in the process (with relevant hints on practice)—the contributors examine such issues and topics as the following: mediator ethics; court-annexed mediation; institutional mediation; mediating commercial disputes; mediating company, insolvency, and bankruptcy disputes; mediating government disputes; mediating investor-state disputes; mediating family disputes; e-mediation; community mediation and citizen empowerment; mixed-mode dispute resolution; and cross-border enforcement of mediated settlements. Two practice-oriented chapters synthesize the process, techniques, and approaches that experienced mediators and mediation advocates have found to be most valuable in their preparation for a mediation. Included is a detailed commentary on Part III of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 and the 2018 Singapore Convention on Mediation. There is little doubt that mediation is the dispute resolution choice of the next-generation lawyer. Present-day lawyers, judges, and users are becoming increasingly convinced that early conflict resolution through facilitated negotiations avoids the pitfalls of adversarial modes of dispute resolution, especially in terms of user satisfaction. This book takes into account where India stands at present, covering statutes, international conventions, and academic literature, thus bequeathing a broad understanding of the subject for legal practitioners, judges, arbitrators, mediators and conciliators, users, and technical experts who wish to understand it.

India has a long-standing tradition of dispute resolution through arbitration, with arbitral-type regulations going back to the eighteenth century. Today, amendments to the 1996 Indian Arbitration Act, a steady evolution of case law and new arbitral institutions position India’s vibrant system once more at the forefront of international commercial dispute resolution. In this handbook, over forty members of the international arbitration community in India and beyond offer authoritative perspectives and insights into topics on arbitration that matter in India. International arbitration practitioners, Indian practitioners, and scholars have combined efforts to produce a practical and informative guide on the subject. Among numerous notable features, the contributors provide detailed analysis and description of such aspects of arbitration as the following, with a focus on the Indian context: Indian application of the 1958 New York Convention; law governing the merits of the dispute and awards; investor-state dispute settlement; drafting arbitration clauses for India-centric agreements; managing costs and time; rise of virtual arbitration and technology; effect of public policy in light of extensive Indian jurisprudence; and arbitration of claims relating to environmental damage. Practical features include checklists for drafting arbitration clauses and a comparative chart of major commercial arbitration rules applicable to India. Also included is a comparative analysis of arbitral regimes in India, Singapore and England; chapters on the India Model Bilateral Investment Treaty and ISDS reforms; a special section on the enforcement of foreign awards; a section on the drafting of the award guided by leading arbitrators and stakeholders and a review of the new 2021 ICC Rules. For foreign counsel and arbitrators with arbitrations in India, this complete and up-to-date analysis provides guidelines for practitioners, corporate counsel, and judges on considerations to be borne in mind with respect to arbitration with an Indian nexus and whilst seeking enforcement and execution of an arbitral award in India. It will prove an effective tool for students and others in understanding and navigating the particularities and peculiarities of India’s system of domestic and international commercial arbitration.
