The book combines 25 national reports with a General Report analyzing the major trends in civil and commercial mediation worldwide. A number of the key variables that make mediation so effective are studied in depth in the book. The concept of mediation, that varies from country to country. Its legal framework and the branches of public and private law in which it is used. The legal condition of the mediation agreement and its relevant conditions of form and content, the responsibilities of the parties in the event that they violate this agreement and the effects of this agreement on potential recourse to the courts or to arbitration, as well as with regard to pending cases. As well as the role played by the mediator, his or her appointment or designation, legal and ethical responsibilities, and the role of institutions in mediation. As well as the mediation process, its applicable rules and principles and its costs are analyzed on comparative basis. The book also pays special attention to the outcome of mediation.

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.

Consumer out-of-court redress in the European Union is experiencing a significant transformation; indeed the current changes are the most important that have occurred in the history of the EU. This is due to the recent implementation of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Directive 2013/11/EU and the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Regulation (EU) 2013/524. The Directive ensures the availability of quality ADR schemes and sets information obligations on businesses, and the Regulation enables the resolution of consumer disputes through a pan European ODR platform. The New Regulatory Framework for Consumer Dispute Resolution examines the impact of the new EU law in the field of consumer redress. Part I of the volume examines the new European legal framework and the main methods of consumer redress, including mediation, arbitration, and ombudsman schemes. Part II analyses the implementation of the ADR Directive in nine Member States with very different legal cultures in consumer redress, namely: Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK, as well as the distinct approach taken in the US. Part III evaluates new trends in consumer ADR (CDR) by identifying best practices and looking at future trends in the field. In particular, it offers a vision of the future of CDR which is more than a mere dispute resolution tool, it poses a model on dispute system design for CDR, it examines the challenges of cross-border disputes, it proposes a strategy to promote mediation, and it identifies good practices of CDR and collective redress. The book concludes by calling for the mandatory participation of traders in CDR.

¿Qué fue primero, el huevo o la gallina? Actualmente la mediación ya comienza a aparecer como un procedimiento formal de resolución de conflictos en la sociedad mexicana; sin embargo, para poder establecerla como un proceso efectivo y habitual para resolver disputas, debe haber educación formal para comunicar efectivamente a la sociedad de la existencia y bondades del proceso. Este libro combina teorías y bibliografía en diferentes áreas académicas y profesionales, como son la psicología, la ley, y diferentes estudios culturales; y añadiendo mis propios análisis, experiencias interpretaciones, ideas, y comentarios ofreciendo al lector una base para formar su propio criterio. Por otro lado, es importante decir que este libro puede servir también como un texto académico, un manual de consulta, e incluso un libro de ayuda o superación personal por lo que lo estructuré en con un vocabulario claro y sencillo evitando, en la medida de lo posible, los tecnicismos jurídicos y psicológicos.

Mexico has played a major role in shaping the growth and development of international arbitration practice, in great part due to its global prominence at the competitive forefront of manufacturing, agriculture, telecommunications, finance, real estate, tourism, trade, and commercial transactions, all while crafting its own policies to achieve the energy transition. In addition, its close ties with the United States and Canada, as well as its important business relations with the rest of the world, have made Mexico a leading subject of investment treaty practice. This book, the most comprehensive English book on the subject, offers a thorough practical analysis of arbitration in Mexico in a variety of specific fields as well in-depth description and analysis of the role and attitude of national courts towards arbitration and of national, regional, and international arbitration institutions. Written by the leading lights of Mexican arbitration practice and scholarship, the contributions clearly and succinctly disentangle complex but common issues arising in commercial and investment treaty disputes. Features of Mexico’s dynamic body of arbitration law and practice covered include the following: legal framework in which arbitration in Mexico operates; characterization of international arbitration principles by Mexican courts; cases which require decisions by a national court or authority; public policy and arbitrability; authority and duties of the arbitral tribunal; document production in the Mexican arbitration practice; judicial intervention in support of international arbitration; state entities as actors in arbitration disputes; hydrocarbons, power and M&A disputes; use of technology in arbitral proceedings; and quantum and damages. This first comprehensive book in English on arbitration law and practice in Mexico provides an in-depth understanding of all of Mexico’s arbitration law and practice nationwide, practical guidance on identifying and assessing the different theoretical and practical legal avenues available, and relevant usages of ADR mechanisms in commercial disputes. It will prove of immeasurable value for arbitrators, judges, in-house counsel, Mexican state-owned companies, global law firms, large- and medium-sized companies doing transnational business, policymakers, and arbitration academics.

En esta obra se analiza la realidad carcelaria desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria y conglomerada del derecho y la ciencia política, antropología, sociología y criminología. En consonancia con el estudio de las innumerables criticas criminológicas que recibe la pena de prisión, sumado a la incapacidad ostensible de cumplir su finalidad, evitando la reincidencia criminal y otros conflictos graves acaecidos en su seno, se arriba a la conclusión, que incumbe al derecho penal, de reafirmar su estatus de saber reductor y limitador del poder punitivo para salvaguardar el Estado de Derecho. En este orden de ideas, se proponen una serie de puniciones alternativas y complementarias a la privación de la libertad que podrían resultar eficaces y eficientes a la hora de satisfacer el reclamo social de sanción ante la comisión de determinados delitos.

In Domesticating Democracy Susan Helen Ellison examines foreign-funded alternate dispute resolution (ADR) organizations that provide legal aid and conflict resolution to vulnerable citizens in El Alto, Bolivia. Advocates argue that these programs help residents cope with their interpersonal disputes and economic troubles while avoiding an overburdened legal system and cumbersome state bureaucracies. Ellison shows that ADR programs do more than that—they aim to change the ways Bolivians interact with the state and with global capitalism, making them into self-reliant citizens. ADR programs frequently encourage Bolivians to renounce confrontational expressions of discontent, turning away from courtrooms, physical violence, and street protest and coming to the negotiation table. Nevertheless, residents of El Alto find creative ways to take advantage of these micro-level resources while still seeking justice and a democratic system capable of redressing the structural violence and vulnerability that ADR fails to treat.
