Disastrous Decisions: The Human and Organisational Causes of the Gulf of Mexico Blowout is an essential reference for all work, health and safety professionals, directors, officers, managers, safety regulators and engineers.

Written by noted expert Professor Andrew Hopkins, this book takes the reader into the realm of human and organisational factors that contributed to the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010. This event resulted in the loss of 11 lives in the explosions and fire, the sinking of the rig and untold damage to the environment and to the livelihood of Gulf residents.

It is important to know what people did, but even more important to know why they did it, so this book attempts to “get inside the heads” of decision-makers and understand how they themselves understood the situations they were in. It also seeks to discover what it was in their organisational environment that encouraged them to think and act as they did.

Hopkins provides a sophisticated analysis of the accident that first identifies a series of critical defences that failed and then goes on to explain why they failed.

Whether the ‘A’ stands for ‘appropriate’, ‘amicable’, or ‘alternative’, all out of court dispute resolution modes, collected under the banner term ‘ADR’ , aim to assist the business world in overcoming relational differences in a truly manageable way.

The first edition of this book (2006) contributed to a global awareness that ADR is important in its own right, and not simply as a substitute for litigation or arbitration. Now, drawing on a wealth of new sources and developments, including the flourishing of hybrid forms of ADR, the subject matter has been largely augmented and expanded on two fronts: in-depth analysis (both descriptive and comparative) of methodology, expectations and outcomes and extended geographical coverage across all continents.

ADR in Business: Practice and Issues Across Countries and Cultures, Volume II covers twenty-nine ‘intertwined but variegated’ essays (to use the editor’s characterization) that provide substantial insight in such specific topics as:

• ADR’s flexible procedures as controlled by the parties
• ADR’s facilitation of the continuation of relations between the parties
• Privilege and confidentiality
• Involvement of non-legal professionals
• The identity and the role of the ‘neutral’ as well as the role of the arbitrator
• The implementation of ICC and other international ADR rules
• The workings of Dispute Boards and
• The role of ADR in securing investment and other specific objectives

In its compound thesis – growing in relevance every day – that numerous dispute resolution methods exist whose goals and developments are varied but fundamentally complementary, the multifaceted approach presented here is of immeasurable value to any business party, particularly at the international level.

Practitioners faced with drafting a dispute resolution clause in a contract, or dealing with a dispute that has arisen, will find expert guidance here, and academics will expand their awareness of the issues raised by ADR, in particular as it relates to arbitration. A broad cross section of interested professionals will discover ample material for comparative study of how disputes are approached and resolved in numerous countries and cultures.
