Complex Dispute Resolution

The application of construction dispute procedures has changed dramatically in the last decade. This has resulted in an increased use of Alternative Dispute Resolution in many countries, and mediation

ASEAN has undertaken the complex task of creating a single economic entity for Southeast Asia by 2015 in the form of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), but without regulators or supranational institutions, its implementation has been an inconsistent process. Through comparisons with the EU and NAFTA, this book illustrates the shortcomings of the current system, enabling readers to understand both the potential of regional economic development in ASEAN and its foundational and institutional deficiencies. The authors' analysis of trade in goods and services, investment, and dispute resolution in the AEC indicates that without strong regional institutions, strong dispute resolution or a set of norms, full and effective implementation of the AEC is unlikely to result. The book offers clear solutions for the ASEAN institutions to help the AEC reach its full potential. Written by two leading practitioners, this insightful book will interest policymakers, students and researchers.

There are three specific purposes of Construction Dispute Research. First, this volume aims to summarise studies on construction dispute. Second, apart from the theoretical constructs, where appropria

This volume analyzes whether China's thirty years of legal reform have taken root in Chinese society by examining how ordinary citizens are using the legal system in contemporary China. It is an interdisciplinary look at law in action and at legal institutions from the bottom up, that is, beginning with those at the ground level that are using and working in the legal system. It explores the emergent Chinese conception of justice - one that seeks to balance Chinese tradition, socialist legacies and the needs of the global market. Given the political dimension of dispute resolution in creating, settling and changing social norms, this volume contributes to a greater understanding of political and social change in China today and of the process of legal reform generally.

The internet has the potential to increase the number of cross-border disputes between a wide range of different users. For many internet disputes, the use of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) becomes critical. ODR uses information technology (such as expert systems) and internet communication applications (such as webforms or web filing platforms) to resolve disputes outside the courts. Although ODR is a progeny of ADR, using some of the same processes such as mediation and arbitration, ODR is also different in that it adds new and transformative technology and processes. This book sets out the process standards with which ODR, and in particular online arbitration, should comply and shows how these standards can be implemented in the real world. It considers applicable law and enforcement, thus providing a blueprint of how online arbitration processes should be devised.

急著解決的事不難。不急、但沒有頭緒的重大問題才考驗你如何使用邏輯與智力。讀完本書，你會驚訝發現自己的思考有多易受限，判斷又多可能出錯！這本書不僅是要學習解決問題，更重要的是拓展思維。它已協助許多大學生在專精領域之外，發展出如何處理問題的通才技能。策略思考的問題解決能力是許多專業人士認為必要的技能，但卻不會出現在學校教育的專科課程裡。就連部分STEM（科學理工）學系出身的人，也往往缺乏這種「通才」的重要技能；他們往往無法釐清思緒、研究執行，甚而無法向工作團隊以簡明的語言「推銷」解決問題的方案。原因是什麼？因為他們很少受過正式以問題分析並進行策略思考的系統性訓練。擔任過企業諮詢顧問、並在大學任教的本書作者謝瓦里耶，將在這本書中由朋友的狗「哈利」走失開始，帶領讀者走過一趟完整的問題解決思考訓練，在書中，這樣的問題即是複雜(complex)、定義模糊（ill-defined）、非迫切（nonimmediate）的問題（簡稱為CIDNI問題）CIDNI問題在生活中並不是時時會出現──但這樣的問題往往正是考驗我們對問題解決的思考能力。對於這樣的問題，我們可以經由本書規劃的四大步驟及其工具進行探索與分析：「找到你需要解決的問題」（What）：面對不熟悉的新狀況時，我們應先釐清真正的問題所在。我們時常以為對情況瞭若指掌，急著尋找解決辦法，但後來往往只會發現自己鎖定了錯的問題。 瞭解為何會遇到這個問題(Why)：釐清問題之後，接著是找出原因。學著從本書的「問題診斷分析圖」，將問題分解成不同面向，一次列舉所有可能肇因，再逐一檢驗假設後得出結論。找出解決問題的可行方案(How)：明瞭問題癥結與原因後，主動尋找解決辦法。「解決方案分析圖」能引導決策生成，從可能的解決辦法中挑選最理想的選項。實際執行解決方案(Do)：要實際執行解決辦法，首要之務就是說服重要關係人，讓他們相信我們的結論正確無誤，本書最後會討論執行解決問題行動的考量事項，尤其著重於如何有效領導團隊。現實中的難題沒有特定領域或形態，被教導著重特定領域的深度非壞事，但可能忽略了事情的廣度。「他山之石，可以攻錯。」培養有廣度的思維，是通才基礎，本書是結合了多種領域理論與實證的工具組合，以深入淺出的文字詳盡解說，正可提供一個廣泛適用的架構與必備工具，協助你更了解問題解決的思考之道。〔書評推薦〕幾年前我開始規劃一門MBA課程，在

一般大眾初學者以淺顯圖文介紹最新都市規劃科學的內涵都市規劃是一門正在演進的學科，然而學界及業界中相對少的人認識到這是一門科學。這本書彙整了作者過去35年來的研究成果，從複雜學的觀點以相對淺顯的圖文來說明都市規劃科學的內涵。自從2019年底新冠肺炎疫情席捲全球的都市後，正顯示出只有人們才是都市的靈魂，沒有考慮「人」的都市規劃是落空的。本書所介紹的都市規劃科學便是以「人」為出發點，探討社會科學針對人類選擇行為的解釋與自然科學針對複雜系統的理解，並將兩者整合成一系統性的都市規劃現象的描述與解釋。2021年諾貝爾物理學獎頒給三位從事複雜系統研究的學者，正說明了複雜學已獲得最高學術殿堂的認可。希望本書的出版能對有志探索人類如何面對都市複雜性的學術或專業規劃師有所幫助。■ 自序現代科學正進行著一場顛覆性的複雜性運動或革命，而這個運動或革命正在或已經影響了社會科學及自然科學許多領域的發展，包括都市規劃。因此，學界對都市及規劃的理解也產生了變化：都市不再是簡單的均衡系統，而是複雜的非均衡系統；規劃從過去強調空間、共識及控制的靜態描述轉而著重時間、結盟及計畫的動態過程(Hopkins, 2014)。此外學者也認為應用大數據及數位孿生的電腦科技從事都市規劃，仍然離不開以複雜性科學來理解都市的理論。尤有甚者，筆者在2018 年發現了四個I 與規劃作用及複雜性的邏輯關係，將規劃的概念與複雜性科學聯繫起來。四個I 表示都市發展決策的相關性(Interdependence)、不可逆性(Indivisibility)、不可分割性(Indivisibility) 以及不完全預見性(Imperfect Foresight)( 詳見本書第三章第五節)。具體而言，規劃發生作用為四個I 的充分條件，而四個I 又是複雜性的充分條件，因此規劃發生作用是複雜性的充分條件(Lai, 2018)。用一般的話來講，計畫在複雜系統中發生作用，但不是唯一的方式。這個發現也確立了四個I 與規劃及複雜度的關係；亦即四個I 同時是規劃投資及複雜度的指標，而這個邏輯關係貫穿了本書的理論架構。我書Planning within Complex Urban Systems (Lai, 2021) 及其姊妹作《複雜城市系統中的規劃原理：新觀點、新邏輯與新實驗》( 賴世剛，2022) 系統地整理了筆者過去35 年來的核心研究心得，以完整

In this Liber Amicorum, leading experts and old-time friends from around the world come together to pay tribute to Christopher Hodges’ multifaceted career and work by exploring what can be done to deliver justice and fairness, focusing on collective redress, consumer dispute resolution, court system reform, ethical business regulation and regulatory delivery. After a decade-long career as a solicitor, Christopher Hodges became Professor of Justice Systems at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Oxford. Throughout his academic career he worked on a variety of topics dealing with access to justice and dispute resolution: from product liability, procedural/funding systems and collective redress, to alternative dispute resolution and ethical business regulation. In 2021 Christopher Hodges was awarded an OBE for services to business and law. His ground-breaking research not only inspired students and colleagues, but also influenced policymakers worldwide.

Arbitration has become an increasingly important mechanism for dispute resolution, both in the domestic and international setting. Despite its importance as a form of state-sanctioned dispute resolution, it has largely remained outside the spotlight of constitutional law. This landmark work represents one of the first attempts to synthesize the fields of arbitration law and constitutional law. Drawing on the author's extensive experience as a scholar in arbitration law who has lectured and studied around the world, the book offers unique insights into how arbitration law implicates issues such as separation of powers, federalism and individual liberties.

It seems against the logic of the parties舗 choice, either in litigation or arbitration, to pursue both dispute resolution methods at the same time. Yet the reasons and incentives to initiate paralle
