‘Based on his many years of research on Alternative Dispute Resolution and his own interdisciplinary academic background, Professor Xiong studies Chinese mediation from multiple angles and dimensions such as culture and history, theory and practice, as well as qualitative and quantitative aspects, striving to present the full picture of Chinese mediation to the readers.’ Yun Zhao, Henry Cheng Professor in International Law, The University of Hong Kong ‘Professor Xiong is a gifted scholar, careful researcher, and creative interpreter of modern non-adjudicative resolution methods in China. Hao combines a historical, theoretical understanding of law with detailed observations of modern dispute resolution techniques and practice. His keen eye and pen are important additions to the dispute resolution field.’ Allen Snyder, Professor of Law (ret.), University of San Diego ‘The Mediation System of China from an Interdisciplinary Perspective offers a comprehensive analysis of Chinese mediation, combining examination of legal, cultural, social, and political contexts. The book explores the historical development, practical applications, and theoretical significance of the mediation system, supported by case studies and empirical research. It compares Chinese practices in the mainland PRC with Western ADR, emphasizing the distinctive characteristics and the fusion of judicial policies with mediation in China. The interdisciplinary approach used by Professor Xiong is among the strengths of the study that make it a valuable resource for understanding Chinese dispute resolution and its global implications.’ Michael Palmer, Emeritus Professor of Law, SOAS, London; Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies
