Partners
The APDR program has a policy-oriented research agenda. While the original
research plan forms a foundation for ensuring policy- relevance, our dispute
resolution practitioner-partners who are integrated into the program from
inception will also strengthen the usefulness of the research. Our Academic
Partners bring area expertise as well as disciplinary diversity. Professional
Organizations such as the China International and Economic Trade Arbitration
Commission (CIETAC) are represented by co-investigators who are active in
the program. An arms length Advisory Board to the APDR program is comprised
of prominent practitioners of trade law; human rights mediators and researchers;
and an eminent scholar on the sociology of law. A member of the Supreme
Court of Canada representing the judiciary and an ambassador of Canada representing
the international diplomatic community complete our Advisory Board. Links
to all our partners can be found here. For further information on the research
funding community and public policy community involved in dispute resolution
research or general information related to trade, human rights and development,
