CONTEMPORARY ISSUE MEDIA (V7) [EPUB ebook] 
Volume 7

Contemporary Issues in Mediation (CIIM) Volume 7 builds on the success of the past six volumes as a testament to a growing interest of authors and readers in the wide variety of issues related to mediation. With the entry into force of the Singapore Convention on Mediation in 2020, mediation is and will continue to be increasingly pertinent in the world of dispute resolution. Readers stand to benefit from a diverse range of topics selected for their high quality of research and novelty. CIIM Volume 7 explores the role of mediation in the post-pandemic era, providing interesting perspectives on issues ranging from victim-offender disputes in the community to the resolution of inter-state armed conflicts. Edited by Singapore’s leading expert on mediation and negotiation and Chairman of Singapore International Mediation Institute, Professor Joel Lee; Country Manager (Singapore) for Lupl, Marcus Lim; and Managing Partner of CJ Liew & Co, Josephine Hadikusumo, CIIM is a unique and valuable addition to the growing body of mediation and dispute resolution literature.
