Contemporary Issues In Mediation - Volume 1

by Joel Lee (Editor), Marcus Tao Shien Lim (Editor), William Ury (Foreword by)

Overview

Is the need for a power balance still necessary for mediation in the Singapore context? In an increasingly digitised world, what challenges are there for online mediation? Is the distinction between facilitative and evaluative mediation still relevant? These questions, and more, are explored in Contemporary Issues in Mediation, the first ever compilation of essays on mediation topics and issues by top mediation students. Carefully selected and edited by leaders in the mediation and negotiation field Associate Professor Joel Lee from the National University of Singapore Faculty of Law, and Marcus Lim, Executive Director of the Singapore International Mediation Institute, this book is not only a unique addition to local mediation literature but also the first in a new annual series.
