Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1991

The goal of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), an alternative to the overwhelmed, traditional court system, is to solve disputes quickly, informally, and economically. Aternative Dispute Resolution in the Public Sector takes a balanced look at both the strengths and the shortcomings of ADR as it applies to the critical public policy areas of labor relations and the environment. Issues such as the positive and negative effects of informality and public involvement in the dispute resolution process are discussed, as are the short- and long-term effects of ADR and the implications for due process. Divided into three sections, the book presents a general overview of the dispute resolution process and an in-depth look at ADR's application to labor relations and environmental issues.
