Electronic Mediation and Negotiations as Alternative Means of Dispute Resolution of International Electronic Trade Contracts

Abstract

Jurisprudence has tended to search for modern, fast and more effective means to use these same techniques to resolve the disputes that may arise in electronic transactions and contracts. This, without the physical presence of the parties in dispute and away from the normal and slower litigation procedures of the state. Subsequently this leads to laxity in resolving the disputes arising in international trade contracts the means of which include mediation and electronic negotiations.

The importance of this study lies in defining the nature of mediation and electronic negotiations as alternative means for resolving electronic commerce disputes. This, as well as the aspects of agreements and differences between them, the advantages achieved and the statement of the effects of mediation and electronic negotiations. Our topic raises the problem of how mediation and electronic negotiations have a role in resolving international electronic trade contract disputes.

To address this problem, the study relied on the analytical method by explaining and presenting the nature of mediation and electronic negotiations, and by clarifying the effects of mediation and electronic negotiations.
