Every mediator recalls how difficult it was to break into the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and how gaining initial experience was near impossible. This eye-opening book provides insights into what success looks like in a mediation practice. The Annual World Mediation Summit brings some of the most forward-thinking international conflict experts together in this book sharing their accounts of how mediation is used to resolve interpersonal and international conflicts so that participants walk away from the conflict with win-win solutions. This book will appeal to anyone interested in practical experiences in mediation across the globe, or wanting to discover how the most successful mediators operate. It is also appropriate for anyone interested in learning from successful judges, lawyers and mediators. Furthermore, this book will be useful to anyone who wants to learn about how mediation works worldwide and to learn from mediators’ challenges and capitalize on their successes. The twenty plus chapters here are written by authors from across the globe supporting the use of mediation in place of other more complicated systems. Their experiences are thoughtfully and clearly described in this book.

The editors' earlier book Delivering Family Justice in the 21st Century (2016) described a period of turbulence in family justice arising from financial austerity. Governments across the world have sought to reduce public spending on private quarrels by promoting mediation (ADR) and by beginning to look at digital justice (ODR) as alternatives to courts and lawyers. But this book describes how mediation has failed to take the place of courts and lawyers, even where public funding for legal help has been removed. Instead ODR has developed rapidly, led by the Dutch Rechtwijzer. The authors question the speed of this development, and stress the need for careful evaluation of how far these services can meet the needs of divorcing families. In this book, experts from Canada, Australia, Turkey, Spain, Germany, France, Poland, Scotland, and England and Wales explore how ADR has fallen behind, and how we have learned from the rise and fall of ODR in the Rechtwijzer about what digital justice can and cannot achieve. Managing procedure and process? Yes. Dispute resolution? Not yet. The authors end by raising broader questions about the role of a family justice system: is it dispute resolution? Or dispute prevention, management, and above all legal protection of the vulnerable? This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's International Arbitration online service.

Does a justice system have a welfare function? If so, where does the boundary lie between justice and welfare, and where can the necessary resources and expertise be found? In a time of austerity, medical emergency, and limited public funding, this book explores the role of the family justice system and asks whether it has a function beyond decision-making in dispute resolution. Might a family justice system even help to prevent or minimise conflict as well as resolving dispute when it arises? The book is divided into 4 parts, with contributions from 22 legal scholars working across Europe, Australia, Argentina and Canada. - Part 1 looks at what constitutes a family justice system in different jurisdictions, and how a welfare element is included in the legal framework. - Part 2 looks at those engaged with a family justice system as professionals and users, and explores how far private ordering is encouraged in different countries. - Part 3 looks at new ways of working within a family justice system and raises the question of whether the move towards privatisation derives from the intrinsic value of individual autonomy and acceptance of responsibility in family disputes, or whether it is also a response to the increasing burden on the state of providing a welfare-minded family justice system. - Part 4 explores recent major changes of direction for the family justice systems of Australia, Argentina, Turkey, Spain, and Germany.

This edited collection introduces and defines the concept of “comparative restorative justice”, putting it in the context of power relations and inequality. It aims to compare the implementation and theoretical development of restorative justice internationally for research, policy and practice. In Part I, this volume compares practices in relation to the implementing environment - be that cultural, political, or societal. Part II looks at obstacles and enablers in relation to the criminal justice system, and considers whether inquisitorial versus adversarial jurisdictions have impact on how restorative justice is regulated and implemented. Finally, Part III compares the reasons that drive governments, regional bodies, and practitioners to implement restorative justice, and whether these impetuses impact on ultimate delivery. Featuring fifteen original chapters from diverse authors and practitioners, this will serve as a key resource for those working in social justice or those seeking to understand and implement the tenets of restorative justice comparatively.

En los últimos años hemos asistido a una ampliación de los conflictos; las aulas, los hospitales, la familia, el trabajo, la comunidad, entre otros, se han convertido en espacios donde, con asiduidad, aparecen este tipo de relaciones. Además esta diversificación ha venido acompañada de un aumento de la complejidad de los conflictos; cada vez resulta más difícil entender cómo se constituyen y desarrollan estos. Este libro presenta una propuesta de análisis; el Mapeo de conflictos. Se trata de mostrar al profesional una técnica que le permita, por un lado, diagnosticar cómo está construido el conflicto y, por el otro lado, establecer los posibles escenarios futuros en los que puede derivar la relación conflictual. La necesidad de procesos de exploración como un paso previo al diseño de estrategias de intervención queda puesta de manifiesto a lo largo de las páginas de este libro. El autor presenta, junto con una gran diversidad de ejemplos, un proceso de aplicación de la técnica a través del desarrollo de un único caso que es usado de manera transversal a lo largo de los diferentes capítulos.

Las crisis que conducen a los deudores a una situación de insolvencia pueden ser crisis financieras, que se fundan en la escasez de recursos financieros en el corto y mediplazo, o crisis económicas, que se originan en la propia naturaleza de la actividad empresarial y en la forma de ejercerla; o bien puede que en la génesis de la insolvencia del deudor coexistan tanto factores económicos como financieros En atención a la variedad de manifestaciones de la crisis, el ordenamiento jurídico regula diferentes mecanismos de actuación dirigidos a evitar y prevenir las insolvencias empresariales en la legislación societaria, así como determinados institutos encaminados a gestionar la insolvencia con el objeto de conjurar la necesidad de un procedimiento de concurso de acreedores. Esta obra, dirigida a los profesionales que actúan en el ámbito del derecho de la insolvencia, analiza y expone de forma sistemática los medios legales para una correcta identificación y una adecuada gestión de las crisis empresariales,desde la perspectiva del derecho de sociedades y de las soluciones preconcursales a la insolvencia.
