Moderns ADR appears, at last, abroad; mediation and other U.S. alternatives to arbitration have slowly been exported for use in international commercial disputes

Article Abstract:

US businesses have since the 1970s increasingly turned to mediation and a various other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques in reaction to the expensive and adversary features of arbitration. The Harvard Negotiation Project, the American Arbitration Assn and the Center for Public Resources have guided and supported this process, which has reached a fairly advanced level in the US business world. This US commitment to ADR is towards the end of the 20th century being replicated in other countries. Arbitration has abroad continued as the almost exclusive method of dispute resolution.
