This second edition handbook focuses on available methods of
arbitration and mediation for commercial dispute resolution and
deals with different types of disputes encountered in international
trade and describes methods for preventing and or resolving them.
Dispute resolution is an important part of risk management in
international trade. Reduced barriers are exposing small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to new markets and international
competition, as well as to new partners, countries, cultures and
trade usages. The book covers the fundamental principles and
practicalities of international commercial arbitration and
mediation. It provides some tools and useful information for
business operators new to international trade as well as more
experienced business people and lawyers.

child labour, water scarcity, workers' rights, use of chemicals,
etc.. Thus, this report is potentially of interest to journalists.

This publication provides insights to decision makers on women's
participation in trade and the challenges they face. It outlines
where the barriers are, provides data from importers and exports in
20 developing countries, shares models of good public and private
sector initiatives, and provides recommendations for policymakers
to engage women entrepreneurs more fully in the global economy. The
report also provides an overview of initiatives undertaken by trade
and investment support institutions, governments and multinationals
that aim at facilitating the integration of women-owned businesses
in international markets and international value chains.It reveals
that multiple actors are taking action in favour of women-owned
enterprises' integration in global markets. Some actors rather try
to address underlying gender biases while other actors focus on
addressing road blocks to integration. The report also highlights
that different tools are being used to intervene. This publication
will be of interest to policymakers, public and private sector
actors, researchers and all stakeholders interested in women's
economic empowerment.
The paper analyses the export structure of the African, Caribbean,
and Pacific (ACP) countries by region covering both products and
services trade, with a focus on the structure of the exporting
sector by company sizes; assesses product and market
diversification, and the development of transformation activities;
discusses trade integration in regional vs. global markets;
concludes that lower barriers to trade could facilitate trade by
SMEs and the development of transformation activities. The
discussion of trade performance is complemented by an analysis of
trade policy frameworks within the ACP group to help identify areas
where increased cooperation among ACP Member States has the
potential to contribute to greater trade performance and stronger
sustainable growth.
Women-owned businesses represent one third of the small and
medium-sized enterprises of developing countries, but only a
fraction of government procurement opportunities for goods and
services. This guide helps governments understand what measures to
put in place so that more women-owned businesses have access to
this important market, which often accounts for 15-20% of GDP. It
includes practical national case examples, checklists and overviews
for busy decision-makers as well as guidelines for implementation.
