Underpinned by a hybrid methodology (ranging from social sciences to human sciences), this book parses mediation in four perspectives, which stands as an unparalleled methodological approach so far.Mediation has long been tethered to piecemeal and haphazard approaches, which have flatly failed to capture the gist of the uniqueness of this (often) poorly latched on (and poorly understood) dispute resolution mechanism. This book argues that, in order to fully grasp the richness of such dispute resolution mechanism, mediation must be parsed in four tiers. The first tier is the social dynamics of mediation. The second tier is the cultural dynamics of mediation. The third tier is the legal dynamics of mediation. The fourth tier is the cross-border and cross-cultural dynamics of mediation.Taken together, the four tiers that premise the four-tiered model of mediation seek to unlock the finding in view of which law and social reality are tightly interlocked. In this vein, it is the underlying social reality of a given jurisdiction that should dictate the design of a pre-suit court-connected mandatory mediation with an easy opt-out, a central claim of both social dynamics of mediation (the first tier of the four-tiered model of mediation) and legal dynamics of mediation (the third tier of the four-tiered model of mediation).

This book broaches the newly crafted concept of algorithmic dictatorship that draws on a plethora of human biases that creep into the algorithm and feeds into an automated decision that comes to the expense of citizens´ lives, freedoms, health, property, fair lending, and credit scoring. This book sheds a keen light on the slew of reasons in view of which artificial intelligence should be both interpretable and controllable, as opposed to merely explainable. The reason for that is straightforward: the skewed data baked into the bigoted algorithms—machine biases—spawns harrowing effects with which criminal justice has been grappling for a long-haul/drawn-out. Tallyingly, and perhaps unsurprisingly, law enforcement evinces biases that run along both gender and race lines. No surprise springs from the fact that computer-generated algorithms that propel predictive policing are often flagged as tools whereby racial discrimination abounds. It should not therefore be pegged as flabbergasting that this sort of shady algorithmic governance is a byproduct of a grueling algorithmic dictatorship that is shaping up to crumble the foundations of Rule of Law upon which stands modern societies. This is one of the key takeaways of this book. Disturbingly enough, brain–computer interfaces are poised to be converted into shady tools to collate/gauge thoughts, emotions, sentiments, and crime-related information that would be otherwise inaccessible to the governments’, rogue nations’, or unscrupulous actors’ prying eyes. Much to our dismay, an eerily dystopian world is unfolding before our very eyes. This is the gist of transhumanism—a byproduct of convolutional neural networks that revolve around deep learning genetic algorithms—that will overhaul the current legal landscape beyond recognition. This book charts the path ahead as to draw set-in-stone boundaries to prevent jurisdictions from careening into the chaos of genetic plutocracy that should be wished away.

This book casts an analytical eye on the legal dynamics of mediation premised on a multidisciplinary approach. This is the very first book to meld mediation and applied psychology with a view to portray the myriad of cognitive biases with which the great bulk of legal actors grapple/tussle with in mediation settings. The overriding goal of this book is to provide a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and full-fledged framework to legal dynamics of mediation while emphasizing the paramount importance of incorporative mediation to protect the fundamental rights of the weakest disputant in the room—something that has not been done yet. This book is the very first one to provide a framework/frame of reference to the usage of artificial intelligence in the remit of both mediation settings and Restorative Relationship Session (RRS).
