Alternative Dispute Resolution in Tanzania

A practical handbook on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Tanzania, covering the principal modes of non-judicial dispute settlement: negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. The book traces the modern ADR movement from its origins in United States justice reform to its introduction into African legal systems in the 1980s and 1990s, noting its resonance with pre-colonial African mechanisms that emphasised restoration of social harmony. It examines the formal introduction of ADR into Tanzanian law through Government Notice No. 422 of 1994 and its integration into the civil justice system. Now a compulsory subject in Tanzanian legal training, ADR is explored through theory, principles, practical examples, and materials, including developments in international commercial arbitration. An essential resource for practising lawyers and law students. Internationally distributed by African Books Collective.
