The review presents the textbook “Alternative Dispute Resolution” edited by Professor

E.A. Borisova (Lomonosov Moscow State University). The reviewer notes the current

state judicial procedural mechanism for resolving civil law disputes. It is not the only

effective tool that parties can use. However, state monopolization of this sphere of activity

is obsolete, and it does not serve the benefit of participants of a civil case, same as it does

not meet the goal of reducing judges schedule. In this regard, it is especially important at

the legislative, doctrinal, educational and applied levels to turn to various legal alternative

ways of resolving disputes. We should understand that alternative ways of resolving

disputes do not have a negative sense, and at a certain level of development they are not

dysfunctional and they do not require state-power intervention. That is why the parties

of a conflict can resolve it with their own expense and efforts or with the involvement of

independent competent experts. Based on this important thesis, the authors of the peerreviewed

textbook revealed in detail the main types of alternative dispute resolution and

the procedure for their implementation.

Keywords: conflictology; alternative dispute resolution; negotiations; mediation; arbitration;

claim proceedings; state justice.
