Key elements like legal compliance, objective criteria, and consistency with contract terms are crucial in ensuring that each stage—from negotiation to arbitration—functions seamlessly. The analysis highlights the risks of poorly drafted, pathological clauses, which can undermine arbitration's effectiveness, leading to delays and increased costs. Through legal precedents and case studies, the paper distinguishes between admissibility and jurisdictional challenges, offering practical strategies for drafting robust MTDRCs. It explores the role of emerging technologies, such as blockchain, in enhancing transparency. This guidance is particularly valuable for legal practitioners seeking to improve dispute resolution outcomes in international commercial transactions.

Yet relatively little academic attention has been given to exploring how cosmopolitan ideals could be leveraged as a tool for sustainable peacebuilding in multicultural and multi-ethnic communities. This study aimed to address this gap by connecting cosmopolitanism, ethnic pluralism, ethnic conflict and sustainable peace. The study explored the perceptions of ethnicity and their dynamics in conflict escalation and sophistication in Northern Ghana with focus on the Kusaasi-Mamprusi conflict in Bawku Traditional Area. The purpose is to propose a pathway towards the gradual removal of ethnic boundaries for the emergence of a cosmopolitan ethnic identity—a liberalized identity that integrates values, norms and traditions of all cultural groups in a community. The research adopted a qualitative approach using interviews and focus group discussions to gather data from 50 purposively sampled participants belonging to the Kusaasi, Mamprusi, Mossi, Busanga, and Hausa ethnic societies. The study found that ethnic divisions worsened the conflict dynamics in Bawku. While participants recognized the need for a peaceful coexistence, dual claims to ancestral lands created an indigene-settler dichotomy making peacebuilding efforts much more difficult. The study argues that the development of a cosmopolitan ethnic society that integrates all the core values of the discerned ethnic societies in Bawku holds the potential to de-escalate conflicts and promote peaceful coexistence. Public sensitization, education, and awareness programmes are recommended to promote tolerance, respect, and appreciation for unity in diversity.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"42 4","pages":"543-555"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144197341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advanced AI systems now extend beyond administrative tasks to analyze complex legal data, predict case outcomes, and even generate arbitral awards. This evolution addresses the growing volume and complexity of international disputes, particularly in commercial and investment arbitration. However, the adoption of AI introduces profound legal and ethical challenges. Key concerns include the absence of human judgment, potential biases embedded in AI algorithms, and the opacity of their decision-making processes, accountability issues, and data privacy risks. Critically, current legal frameworks such as the New York Convention were not designed to accommodate AI-generated awards, raising questions about their legitimacy, procedural fairness, and enforceability. This article explores these intersections, focusing on how AI impacts arbitration's efficiency and objectivity, the legal and ethical challenges arising from AI integration, and the extent to which existing legal frameworks accommodate AI-generated awards. Employing a multidisciplinary approach that includes legal scholarship, case studies, and technological research, the analysis examines the practical implications of AI in arbitration and the specific enforcement challenges of AI-generated awards. The article concludes with recommendations for regulatory reforms and the adoption of hybrid AI-human models to balance technological benefits with the necessity for human oversight and ethical accountability.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"42 4","pages":"523-534"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144197347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most conflict theories are meant to explain conflict behavior rather than guide the decisions of interveners, which are instead based on implicit and unspoken assumptions. Clarifying the assumptions of interveners would do much to both highlight salient differences between approaches and to address critical questions of ethics which Bekkers raises in his article. Transformative Dialogue building on the premises of Transformative Mediation is nondirective and the transformation achieved is based on the fact that participants make key decisions about dialogue and how to relate to others themselves.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"42 4","pages":"503-505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144197199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed judicial overhaul was perceived as a threat to both democratic foundations and women's rights in Israel. Raising awareness of women's rights through the “Women in Red” (WIR) protest using the “Handmaid's Tale” Parades was instrumental in restraining the planned reform's potential negative outcomes. The study discusses the importance of identifying a potential threat and using a crisis management approach through public performances to address it. We investigated the nature of the protest activity to assess its effectiveness, from the public perspective, in building resilience and raising awareness of women's rights issues. These issues were examined by an online questionnaire (<i>N</i> = 185) addressing attitudes regarding the protest. The results of the study show an increased awareness and engagement with women's rights issues, which was attributed to WIR protest efforts. The use of prominent visuals in the WIR protest led by the organization directly contributed to its ability to build resilience for women's rights and to enhance understanding of the potential threats of judicial overhaul among the Israeli public. This study emphasizes propaganda's role in women's protests as a significant tool for building resilience. It also stretches the boundaries of crisis management models by revealing an integration of pre-crisis and response phases in the “Women in Red” protest.</p>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"42 4","pages":"475-487"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/crq.21466","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144197038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
