The chapter explores the dilemma of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and access to justice for women in Ghana. It argues that introduction and use of ADR has contributed to improving access to justice with regards to reducing delays in formal court procedures, cost reduction, time saving, opening spaces for less-resourced individuals and groups, particularly women, to have access to justice. Above all, ADR does bring access to justice systems close to remote areas, serving the needs of disadvantaged individuals including women and others who are most vulnerable. However, the weaknesses and challenges in the formal legal system, coupled with the historical and cultural dynamics of the Ghanaian society, which is patriarchal in nature, have prevented mostly women from reaping the maximum benefits of ADR. Revisiting the challenges of the justice system and the historical and cultural norms of Ghana would help increase and enhance women's access to justice through ADR.

Choosing the appropriate conflict resolution procedure is paramount to proper and effective conflict management. An important impetus for the choice of the most suitable procedure is provided by § 278a of the ZPO (Germany’s Code of Civil Procedure), which enables judges to suggest a range of out-of-court alternative dispute resolution procedures, including mediation. In this study, the author analyses the regulatory content of § 278a of the ZPO as well as the function and potential of the provision to act as an interface between court proceedings and extrajudicial mediation. Using the finding that judges rarely propose that litigants switch to extrajudicial mediation, the author empirically examines the reasons for the cautious application of § 278a of the ZPO and develops a set of comprehensive recommendations to optimise the procedural interface.

The topic of effective dispute resolution has been explored, as various conflicts are an integral part of public life or, as scholars rightly point out, conflicts are inevitable. The approaches used to resolve them are diverse and characterize the evolution of justice – from traditional litigation to modern alternative conciliation procedures and the so-called "conflict management", which helps not only to resolve disputes but also to maintain normal and productive relations between its participants in future. Alternative dispute resolution can be seen as a reaction to the significant increase in the number of appeals to court, the increase in court costs and the increase in court hearings, which inevitably accompany this form of protection of rights during the twentieth century. The first studies ~ 64 ~ ВІСНИК Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка ISSN 1728-3817 of alternative dispute resolution procedures can be found in the 1940s, but the interest of researchers increased significantly in the 1960s and 1970s, which led to the implementation of the concept of out-of-court protection in many countries, but not to dispute resolution. The basic modern approach to dispute resolution is characterized as a constructive dialogue for finding a compromise by any means, based on the vision of conflict as an integral and inevitable phenomenon that accompanies the dynamics of human relations. A change in the perception of the conflict should lead to a change in the established tools for their settlement into a comprehensive system that allows not so much to resolve it as to control, thus endowing it with constructive features that generally contribute to the development of productive relations. Accordingly, referring to our chosen epigraph, the vision of disputes as a basis for battle will grow into an awareness of their usefulness, if they are settled and controlled by experts.

The problem of land conflicts in the territory of Ulayat Land of Customary Law Community conducted by the company as an investment actor conducting business activities in the field of mineral and coal mining and its settlement efforts can not be explained through the only normative juridical approach, but the holistic and integrative approach. Approaches known in social science, sociology, and legal anthropology can be used to explain the issue of dispute resolution based on local potential. The choice of conflict resolution of conflicts arising from unequal distribution and management of resources and unequal power and authority, to address these types of conflicts should be put forward with justice and benefit as the main objective, not the legal certainty aspect.

The issue of inheritance distribution does not often lead to conflicts that must be resolved by means of litigation. In resolving conflicts that might arise, the community usually has set a separate rule to distribute inheritance. The people of Central Kalimantan, especially in the City of Palangka Raya, prioritize deliberations that are actually not contrary to Islamic law in resolving their inheritance disputes. Why and how these dispute settlements are conducted? This study uses normative-empirical methods which employs a legal anthropology approach. The results of the study show that the tradition of resolving inheritance disputes in the people of Palangka Raya City of Central Kalimantan prioritizes peaceful settlement disputes by using Islamic law first and then a family meeting is held to determine the agreeable share and distribution of assets. The principle of kinship in the protection of property (hifz al-maal) in the family is adopted, so that the community returns to share property with the negotiation method which is built on family agreements. By referring to Islamic jurisprudence on inheritance, the dispute settlements also aims at sharia compliant in order to adhere to Islamic doctrine (hifz al-din). Finally, they also adopt the principle of responsive thinking which is human based on local wisdom values in society. The conclusion of this study shows that the Palangka Raya City Society combines Islamic law and customary law in the distribution of inheritance.Keywords: dispute resolution, inheritance, Palangka Raya, legal anthropologyPersoalan pembagian kewarisan tidak jarang menimbulkan konflik yang harus diselesaikan.

This present study draws findings on possible ways of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in economic and other “non-economic” organizations. The research analyzed (1) conflicts in organizations, (2) methods of conflict resolution, (3) actors who support the management of conflict management, (4) trust between parties, (5) knowledge of ADR, and (6) additional possible – Hungarian sector-specific – circumstances. There is no such comparison study of economic and ’non-economic’ organizations in Hungary, as well as there is also absence of English studies about the neighbor post-socialist countries of the European Union. The last one was carried out 10 years ago as a pilot project to introduce ADR in Hungary, so with this research, some relevant ideas were carried out that can contribute to the more efficient implementation of domestic efforts.

This article examines whether organizations in Ireland are following their counterparts in the United States and adopting advanced conflict management innovations inspired by alternative dispute resolution. The authors find that the general pattern in Ireland is for organizations to change conflict management practices in a reactive, piecemeal manner that seldom involves any proactive or strategic action. They also identify a small group of organizations that adopt an incremental and evolutionary approach to workplace conflict management innovation that involves changing tried-and-tested conflict management practices pragmatically over time. The article suggests that apart from the United States, all other Anglo-American countries for the most part follow the pattern of workplace conflict change occurring in Ireland.
