International Mediation, the Art of Business Diplomacy

by Eileen Carroll and Karl J. Mackie

Across a broad range of business sectors, and with case values as high as $500 million, mediation is emerging as an incomparably efficient means of solving international business disputes. Experience has already proven its effectiveness. International Mediation--The Art of Business Diplomacy reveals the power of this extraordinary resolution tool. Drawing on more than a decade of successfully mediated international disputes, The authors--both professional mediators associated with the Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR) in London--explain how to use mediation in an international setting and how to get the best from the process. They provide plenty of examples of international disputes that have been resolved using mediation, often in as little as two days. This book answers all the most-asked questions about international mediation, including: How does it work? What are the limitations? What skills are required? How long will it take? What will it cost? How are the outcomes enforced? More than any theory, The case histories and practical guidance in this book will demonstrate why international business dispute mediation works. Managers and their advisers in global business will discover a powerful new way to resolve business conflict.
