Synopsis

Dispute Resolution: Beyond the Adversarial Model, Second Edition, takes a comprehensive look at the current state of Dispute Resolution by incorporating key aspects of the negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and hybrid processes: the theoretical frameworks that define the processes, the skills needed to practice them, the ethical issues implicated in their uses, and the legal and policy analyses surrounding each process.

• multi-party and complex issue dispute resolution covered
• readings balance theory and theory-in-use and include cases, behaviorally and critically based articles, examples, empirical studies, relevant statutory and other regulatory material to illuminate the challenge of balancing rules and laws with the economic and emotional constraints inherent in disputes
• challenging, relevant readings include a wide range of perspectives, from Fisher, Ury, and Patton's Getting to Yes, Raiffa's Art and Science of Negotiation, and Mary Parker Follett on creative conflict .
