商品簡介
This work seeks to identify the potentials and shortcomings of different approaches to international conflict resolution involving third parties, focusing on the differences between adjudicative and alternative methods of conflict resolution or dispute settlement. In pursuit of this goal, it links the field of conflict resolution in general; the role and function of third parties in an interdependent international system; the background and various techniques of international alternative dispute resolution, especially mediation; and the specific institutional and political framework of the United Nations.
