Students are encouraged to engage with and discuss a range of key academic works and policy documents, and to think about how theory can be reconciled with the practical realities of dispute resolution in Australia and internationally.

We will examine a range of current and emerging themes in dispute resolution, which may include:
• The legal and policy framework of dispute resolution in Australia and internationally;

• Power and neutrality in facilitative dispute resolution processes;
