Book:

Handbook of Dispute Resolution

The Handbook of Dispute Resolution brings together a diverse collection of dispute resolution scholars who have never before appeared within the same volume. That they were each willing to contribute a chapter speaks volumes about their devotion to the field, their generosity, and their leadership. Some of the chapters in this book represent the first time that certain authors have synthesized years of their own work into a manageable form. Other chapters provide insight into the very cutting edge of current thinking in dispute resolution. Some chapters are written by the most prominent names in our field, and some are written by those who appear most likely to lead the next generation of dispute resolution scholars.
