Arbitration and mediation in the Southern Mediterranean countries

the long version

Thirty-three local experts describe the ongoing process of adopting and adapting modern techniques of dispute resolution for economic and commercial matters in Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, and the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Each chapter illustrates multiple techniques, including court processes as well as arbitration and mediation processes, against the backdrop of economic and legislative changes that have occurred region-wide since the late twentieth century. The country-by-country presentations are especially valuable for their emphasis on how local ADR practices deal with, or are affected by, such factors as the following: civil procedure codes, international conventions, international enforcement of awards, appeals, qualifications of arbitrators and mediators, rules of local, regional, and international ADR institutions, costs, involvement of the judiciary, cultural aspects, regional and international trade agreements.--Provided by publisher.
