Περίληψη σε άλλη γλώσσα

This thesis deals with the mediation of civil and commercial disputes in a wide range of countries. The purpose is to present the institution of mediation, initially, in the US legal order (“cradle” of mediation), and subsequently to "Community initiatives" - with the outset of Directive 2008/52 / EC - in the Greek, English, French, Italian and German legal systems. The ultimate goal is to exploit the concerns that will arise for an even better mediation system. In order to facilitate the reader, the way of presentation in each legal order is similar. For each legal class, a separate "PART" is dedicated. The thesis is completed with some comparative and concluding remarks on the main issues (in the opinion of the writer).
