Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management in Construction: An International Perspective

As the boundaries of trade are increasingly international rather than national, the area of construction law is receiving considerable attention from both lawyers and construction professionals. To reflect the need for increasing expertise in a highly complex legal arena, the Conseil International du Batiment pour la Recherche L'Etude et la Documentation (CIB) inaugurated an intternational task force, TG15, to study the area of construction disputes around the world, which now has more than 120 members in 30 countries. Drawing from an international expert author based from the CIB taskforce, and edited by coordinators of TG15, experts representing both the legal and construction professions, Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management aims to provide a first reference for those considering, or already, working in the international workplace.
