Abstract
The importance of extra-judicial mechanisms for resolving cross border disputes is virtually uncontested, as evidenced both by the breadth of scholarship dedicated to the issue and record-breaking increase in the number of parties resorting to non-litigious dispute resolution mechanisms in recent years. As a growing number of disputes have come to involve cross-border issues, it is not surprising that scholarship has likewise expanded to examine the unique dynamics of cross-border dispute resolution systems.
This edited volume explores the challenges and opportunities of understanding and assessing developments in systems of dispute resolution in diverse social and political contexts through comparative research. It covers topics such as theoretical and practical considerations in conducting comparative work in the field of transnational and comparative dispute resolution and considers how research may inform policy developments in dispute resolution institutions regionally and transnationally.
