Conciliation and Mediation in India

About this book:

Conciliation and Mediation in India is a comprehensive and challenging work of formidable thought-leaders in dispute resolution with global reputations. It can be said that negotiation is about what to do, whereas mediation is about how to do it—how to make sure control is in the hands of the disputants. Although mediation (as well as conciliation) is taking hold in dispute resolution worldwide, among the nations, India shows the strongest signs of interest in developing a pervasive legal mediation culture. This invaluable book describes how mediation is used, and can be used, to resolve different types of disputes in India and international cases providing a comprehensive treatment of the legal framework, principles, and procedure of mediation.

What’s in this book:

Addressing the involvement of each of the stakeholders in the process (with relevant hints on practice), exceptional contributions from a diverse group of legal practitioners, academicians, in-house counsel, and foreign lawyers examine such issues and topics as the following:

• mediator ethics;
• court-annexed mediation;
• institutional mediation;
• mediating commercial disputes;
• mediating company, insolvency, and bankruptcy disputes;
• mediating government disputes;
• mediating investor-state disputes;
• mediating family disputes;
• e-mediation;
• community mediation and citizen empowerment;
• mixed-mode dispute resolution; and
