Features: The Law Department of Xiamen University (now the School of Law) was established in 1926 and has gone through many hardships and vicissitudes. Since its revival in 1979, the School of Law has always attached great importance to improving the teaching quality of litigation law while closely monitoring and actively participating in the development of China's litigation legal system and the discipline of litigation law. In the past decade, the faculty of the School of Law have published and authored numerous monographs, textbooks, and academic papers, covering areas such as civil litigation, criminal litigation, administrative litigation, maritime litigation, arbitration systems, bankruptcy systems, comparative litigation systems between the Taiwan Strait regions, and judicial reform, which have had a significant impact in the legal community.
A diversified dispute resolution mechanism refers to a system in which various dispute resolution methods (including negotiation, mediation, administrative resolution, arbitration, litigation, etc.) coexist harmoniously with their specific functions and characteristics, forming a complementary and dynamic adjustment system that meets the diverse needs of social subjects. In today's pluralistic society, the diverse subjects and their needs, as well as the diverse interests and conflicts, all require the establishment of a corresponding diversified dispute resolution mechanism. Judicial reform is not merely about perfecting the litigation system but is more importantly a shift in the societal concept of dispute resolution and the construction of a diversified dispute resolution mechanism.
This book is the academic outcome of the Fujian Province Social Science Research "Fifteenth Five-Year" Plan project "Harmonious Society and the Construction of a Diversified Dispute Resolution Mechanism" and the Xiamen University Humanities and Social Sciences Horizontal Project "Legislative Research on Diversified Dispute Resolution Mechanisms," jointly completed by the Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Justice and the School of Law at Xiamen University.
