Comparative Dispute Resolution offers an original, wide-ranging,
and invaluable corpus of essays on dispute resolution. Enriched by
a broad, comparative vision and a focus on the processes used to
handle disputes, this study adds significantly to the discourse
around comparative legal studies. From a comparative perspective,
this Research Handbook analyses the field of dispute processing,
generally and across a broad range of legal systems and their legal
cultures. It explores the nature of disputes and the range of basic
processes used in their resolution, examining emerging issues in
theory and practice and analysing differing traditions of dispute
resolution and their 'modernisation'. Offering a balanced
combination of theory and praxis, chapters present new
understandings of theoretical, comparative and transnational
dimensions of the manner in which societies and their legal systems
respond to difficulties in social relations. Showcasing
opportunities for new research and debate, Comparative Dispute
Resolution will be helpful to practitioners and those engaged in
the practise of handling disputes. Students and scholars in
disciplines such as law, sociology, politics and psychology will
also find this topical Research Handbook useful in their
understanding of the theory and practice of disputing and dispute
management, legal reform and enhanced access to justice.
This is the authoritative textbook on family mediation. As well as
mediators, this work will be indispensable for practitioners and
scholars across a wide range of fields, including social work and
law. It draws on a wide cross-disciplinary theoretical literature
and on the author's extensive and continuing practice experience.
It encompasses developments in policy, research and practice in the
UK and beyond. Roberts presents mediation as an aid to joint
decision-making in the context of a range of family disputes,
notably those involving children. Mediation is seen as a process of
intervention distinct from legal, social work and therapeutic
practice, drawing on a distinctive body of knowledge across
disciplinary fields including anthropology, psychology and
negotiation theory. Incorporating empirical evidence, the book
emphasises the value of mediation in mitigating the harmful effects
of family breakdown and conflict. First published in 1988 as a
pioneering work, this fourth edition has been fully updated to
incorporate legal and policy developments in the UK and in Europe,
new sociological and philosophical perspectives on respect, justice
and conflict, and international research and practice innovations.

The modern emergence of mediation in the West in the 1980s
represents a profound transformation of civil disputing practice,
particularly in the field of family justice. In the field of family
disputes mediation has emerged to fill a gap which none of the
existing services, lawyers and courts on the one hand, or welfare,
advisory or therapeutic interventions on the other, could in their
nature have filled. In the UK mediation is now the approved pathway
in the current landscape of family dispute resolution processes,
officially endorsed and publicly funded by government to provide
separating and divorcing families with the opportunity to resolve
their disputes co-operatively with less acrimony, delay and cost
than the traditional competitive litigation and court process. The
consolidation of the professional practice of family mediation
reflects its progress and creativity in respect both of the
expanding focus on professional quality assurance as well as on
developments of policy, practice guidelines and training to address
central concerns about the role of children in mediation, screening
for domestic abuse, sexual orientation and gender identity as well
as cross-cultural issues including the role of interpreters in the
process. Other areas of innovation include the application of
family mediation to a growing range of family conflict situations
involving, for example, international family disputes (including
cross border, relocation and child abduction issues). Written by
leaders in family mediation, this title provides a contemporary
account of current practice developments and research concerning
family mediation across a range of issues in the UK and Ireland.
