Excerpt from Arbitrator Decision Making: When Are Final Offers Important? Of central importance in the process of collective bargaining is the mechanism for settling disputes that arise when the parties fail to reach agreement. It determines not only the terms of agreement in all cases but also the probability of reaching agreement without resort to the dispute settlement mechanism. While the strike is the dominant mode for settling disputes that arise in the course of negotiating labor contracts, arbitration procedures have become particularly important in areas, such as the public sector, where strikes are not allowed. These procedures are characterized by a third party making a binding decision. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the course of a single investor-state dispute, an arbitrator may make numerous decisions, from interpreting the treaty or national laws to taking into account case law, customs and policies. In practice, this process raises important issues regarding the consistency of decisions and the predictability and legitimacy of the decision-making process in general. Investment arbitration tribunals have developed a specialised process of legal decision making adapted to the interpretational needs that arise in the context of an investor-state dispute and to the transnational characteristics of the investment arbitration framework. This is the first book to offer an in-depth analysis of the transnational characteristics of investment arbitration and to analyse the interpretive arguments of investment tribunals and the way they use treaties, precedent, policies, general principles of law and customary law in their decision-making process. Drawing on publicly available arbitral case law supplemented with personal interviews with investment arbitrators, the author touches on such concepts and practices as the following: - an overview of various decision-making genres of arbitral tribunals: attitudinal, economic, strategic and legal; - the legal argumentation triptych of language–rhetoric–dialogue; - the specific language arbitrators have developed when interpreting the law; - how arbitrators use the concepts 'standards', 'rules', 'principles' and 'rights'; - the importance of the legal reasoning of arbitral awards and the role of rhetoric therein; - concepts of 'acceptability', 'audience' and 'legitimacy'; - limitations of the public international law interpretive methodology enshrined in the Vienna Convention; - interpretation of precedents, customary law, general principles of law and policies; - the way national and international legal orders interact in the context of interpretation; and - how decision-making is connected to the issues of predictability, consistency and the rule of law. The core of the book proposes a novel, full- edged dialogical network theory for analysing the interpretation process. As an exemplary demonstration of developing theory to keep up with practice, this unique book provides a deeply engaged means for enhancing the practice of international arbitration. Its introduction of a new field of interdisciplinary analysis employing legal argumentation theories is sure to provide inestimable guidance for institutions and policymakers, especially in light of recent proposals for the creation of a permanent investment arbitration court. Given that unveiling the legal decision-making process is critical for the well-being of the whole dispute resolution procedure, and that being aware of how arbitrators interpret the law can constitute a roadmap for counsel's arguments and approaches when dealing with cross-border disputes, the topic of this book is relevant for both academics and practitioners, and its signifcance can only grow as recourse to investor-state arbitration continues to expand.

During his 40 years as a labor arbitrator, Roger Abrams has been appointed to resolve over 2,500 disputes. This insightful and authoritative treatise, Inside Arbitration: How an Arbitrator Decides Labor and Employment Cases, tackles the topic of labor arbitration from the perspective of the arbitrator. Abrams reveals how the decision maker, the arbitrator, goes about actually deciding a case. Presented in Q&A format, Abrams shares extremely practical guidance on more than 450 real-world questions, such as: How does the typical labor arbitrator selection process operate? What types of disclosures by the arbitrator are appropriate to reveal conflict, bias, or predisposition? How does an arbitrator react to the conduct of the parties at the hearing? Is it ever appropriate to have contact with the arbitrator before the hearing? Does the arbitrator do anything differently with a really big case--for example, a case with potential exposure of over $1 million? What kind of documents will an arbitrator find useful? What do arbitrators want to hear in opening statements? What is the impact of opening statements? How do arbitrators prefer exhibits to be marked and offered into evidence? Has a party's brief ever persuaded an arbitrator to reach a different conclusion after the hearing itself has concluded? If so, what are some of the persuasive factors? How does the arbitrator determine what the appropriate remedy is? How does an arbitrator deal with ambiguity in contract language? What should an advocate do if he or she thinks arbitrators are generally wrong on a particular issue? Should the arbitrator, in rendering his or her award, address each and every legal argument put forward by each of the parties? If not, why not? How does an arbitrator stop an advocate from bullying witnesses? What challenges does the arbitrator face in an employment arbitration that might not be present in a labor arbitration? This treatise is designed for advocates and representatives with all levels of experience. It includes basic guidance on the arbitration process for the benefit of the many new advocates in the past several years, especially on the union side, as well as more advanced discussions on arbitration subtleties for the benefit of experienced representatives. Advocates for parties in arbitration need to know how arbitrators react to certain issues and behaviors. This incredible resource provides "from the trenches" insights based on the author's vast experience and involvement in deciding labor cases. While a great arbitration advocate may not know the particular arbitrator who will hear his or her case, the advocate should know how arbitrators approach hearings and the issues to be resolved. This volume thoroughly guides users through all the essential issues.

The Complex Dispute Resolution series collects essays on the development of foundational dispute resolution theory and practice and its application to increasingly more complex settings of conflicts in the world, including multi-party and multi-issue decision making, negotiations in political policy formation and governance, and international conflict resolution. Each volume contains an original introduction by the editor, which explores the key issues in the field. All three volumes feature essays which span an interdisciplinary range of fields, law, political science, game theory, decision science, economics, social and cognitive psychology, sociology and anthropology and consider issues in the uses of informal and private processes, as well as more formal and public processes. The essays question whether the development of universal theoretical insights about conflict resolution is possible with variable numbers of parties and issues and in multi-cultural and multi-jural settings. Each volume also presents a coda, summarizing key issues in the field and suggesting further avenues for research. The second volume (and the introductory essay here) applies the theoretical foundations and practices of primary processes in dispute resolution-negotiation, mediation, arbitration and some hybrid processes in both public and private, informal and formal settings to more complex multi-party and multi issue settings, and asks whether foundational theories must be altered when there are more parties and issues. What difference do larger numbers make in theory and practice of dispute resolution and decision making? Other theoretical and empirical observations of the role of third party neutrals and facilitators in multi-party settings are explored, and applied disciplines such as game theory and decision sciences are applied to complex dispute resolution settings. Illustrations of uses of these processes in different substantive areas, e.g. legal disputes, public policy decision making, politics and governance, environmental matters, institutional relations, and high conflict settings are provided. The volume collects classic articles in multi-party, multi-issue theory and practice while interrogating the issues of how the numbers of parties and issues, different contexts and cultures challenges our efforts to create generalizable theory and practice of human conflict resolution. The review essay also discusses recent efforts to seek correspondences and learning from application of conflict resolution theory and practice to the work on deliberative democracy and political decision making. The coda suggests avenues for future research. Some attention is paid to issues of ethics and political theory, as well as evaluation of efficacy, in the use of third party facilitators in public policy and governance disputes.
Multi-Criteria Methods for Alternative Dispute Resolution

This work examines the topic of dispute resolution, specifically the multi-criteria approach that seeks to arrive at a conclusion that is mutually beneficial to both sides. Through the use of decision-aiding software, the multi-criteria approach can allow each side to give on various criteria that are not important to it, but are important to the other side. In this way, a super-optimum solution may even be met, in which both sides receive something significantly better than they had expected. Such a result is very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve, Stuart Nagel points out, in traditional single-dimension dispute resolution. Nagel and Mills describe the nature of multi-criteria dispute resolution utilizing decision-aiding software. The first part of the book clarifies the general character of computer-aided negotiation, computer-aided mediation, and super-optimizing dispute resolution. Part two guides the reader through the use of Policy/Goal Percentaging (P/G%) decision-aiding software, centering on general decision-making, negotiation, mediation, and prediction of outcomes. Multi-criteria resolution in the context of rule-making and legal policy disputes is the focus of part three, where such matters as determining initial alternatives and criteria, resolving deadlocks, and arriving at super-optimum solutions are discussed. Part four emphasizes dispute resolution in the context of rule-applying and litigation disputes, as well as mediation at the international level and between lawyers and clients. The final part deals with future applications, such as computer-aided mediation and group decision-making with phone modems. The book's combination of decision-aiding software, arbitration-mediation, and super-optimum expansionist decision-making brings a truly innovative approach to the topic of dispute resolution. This volume should be a welcome addition to academic, legal, and public libraries, and a valuable reference work for lawyers, law students, and legal professors and researchers.
