The Place of Adjudication Among Other Methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution in International Commercial Disputes
Keywords:
Adjudication, Alternative Dispute Resolution, International Commercial DisputesAbstract
This article explores the unique role and significance of adjudication within the spectrum of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms in the context of international commercial disputes. While arbitration and mediation are more commonly discussed in academic and professional discourse, adjudication offers a distinct blend of speed, technical focus, and interim binding effect, especially valuable in time-sensitive industries such as construction and infrastructure. The paper provides a detailed comparative analysis between adjudication and other ADR methods, evaluates its function within multi-tiered dispute resolution clauses, and discusses its legal and practical limitations. The study draws on international instruments, such as FIDIC contracts, and assesses the future trajectory of adjudication in global commerce. It concludes that adjudication, when effectively integrated with other dispute resolution stages, serves as a strategic and pragmatic solution for resolving cross-border commercial conflicts.
