Contemporary Issues in Mediation

Contemporary Issues in Mediation (CIIM) Volume 5 builds on the success of the past four volumes as testament to a growing interest of authors and readers in the wide variety of issues that arise with mediation. Readers stand to benefit from a diverse range of topics selected for their high quality of research and novelty. With the recent signing of the Singapore Convention on Mediation in August 2019, there is no doubt that mediation is and will continue to be extremely pertinent in the world of dispute resolution.
