Foreword

With the acceleration of cross-border trade, business operators are exposed to new partners, countries, cultures and trade practices. New opportunities bring with them new risks and dispute resolution is now accepted as being an important part of risk management. Business dealings naturally give rise to disputes, but when they are international there are added difficulties often involving various jurisdictions, diverse legal traditions, different procedures and sometimes more than one language. How, then, should an international business operator manage conflicts during the various contractual phases, from negotiation, through contracting, to performance?
