What do nudges and choice architecture have to do with encouraging mediation?

What should one consider when drafting enforceable mediation clauses?

Does negotiating with children hold the secret to becoming better mediators?

The signing of the Singapore Convention on 7 August 2019 heralds a new milestone in mediation. Contemporary Issues in Mediation Volume 4 examines the draft Convention of International Settlement Agreements resulting from mediation and provides some answers to guide the drafting of enforceable mediation clauses. Practitioners would be especially interested in the new section 'Mediation Obligations and Ethics', featuring discussions on mediator's neutrality and confidentiality, as well as a mediation advocate's ethical duty of honesty. A traditionally well-received category 'Mediation Skills' is also expanded with new entries, with one essay on crisis negotiation skills and another that examines how learning from children can help mediators better deal with emotions or difficult parties. Socially conscious readers will no doubt enjoy the research and views presented on an increasingly popular topic, how gender roles shape the power balance in family mediation. As the world heads into a new era with mediation given prominence on the global stage, the valuable insights in this edition will undoubtedly equip you with the necessary knowledge to navigate this space.
