Alternative Dispute Resolution

Albert Fiadjoe fills a genuine gap: before this book, the literature on alternative dispute resolution had little to say about Commonwealth Caribbean and developing-world contexts, where colonial legal legacies and globalization create distinct pressures. The book covers the full ADR spectrum — negotiation, mediation, domestic and international arbitration, and WTO dispute resolution — while arguing that standard ADR models need reshaping for these settings. Caribbean law school curricula have adopted it, and legal fraternity reviewers called it a work of exceptional merit. The honest caveat is that the book's usefulness is concentrated within that Caribbean and developing-world legal context; practitioners in North American or European settings will find the foundational chapters useful but the applied chapters less directly applicable. Worth noting: it is a legal studies text, not a finance or business text, despite the pillar classification.
