This volume considers corruption as a multidimensional, complex
phenomenon in which various forms of corruption may overlap at any
given time. Extending the seemingly paradoxical notion of "legal
corruption" to such settings as the USA, Spain, and the Czech
Republic, the book seeks to augment our understanding of corruption
in democracies by focusing on conduct that is considered by large
segments of the population to be corrupt even though they are not
explicitly defined as such by the law or the governing elites. Such
behaviors are not often captured by corruption perception indexes
or identified by scholars who regard corruption as a single
category-usually restricted to bribery. However, they are liable to
incur a heavy price both in terms of trust in specific governments
and of general system support. As illustrated by developments in
Spain, the Czech Republic, and the corrosive presidential campaign
of 2016 in the USA, these actions are liable to endanger both the
quality and actual viability of democratic orders. This volume
looks into the possibilities of legal reforms and anticorruption
campaigns aiming to correct the consequences of such corruption on
government legitimacy. A comparison between the anticorruption
campaigns in the competitive authoritarian context of Russia and
the fully authoritarian setting of China helps to identify both the
difficulties and the possibilities of such efforts in democratic
regimes.
Mediation Law and Practice gives a thorough account of the practice
of mediation from the perspective of the student and practitioner.
Divided into two parts, it deals with both the practice of
mediation and the law surrounding mediation. Touching on the theory
and philosophy behind the practice, it further describes in a
theoretical and practical sense the difference between the emerging
models of mediation. Mediator qualities are discussed in terms of
issues of gender, culture and power. This book examines the
important issue of mediation ethics and, taking into account the
developing law surrounding the practice, proposes a code of ethics.
It looks at the future of mediation in light of the decline in
litigation, the rise in regulatory constraints on mediation and the
popularity of online mediation. Mediation Law and Practice provides
students and practitioners with the complete text on the practice
and law surrounding mediation.
