| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research was able to achieve the expected results. It properly identified some of the key reasons behind the different success of ADR in EU and Japan: in particular, it could identify clear patterns behind the development (or non-development) of privately-managed, State-supervised ADR. While the EU is pushing hard to promote ADR, also through the use of legislative (i.e. enforceability of the agreement, tax breakdowns) and non-legislative (i.e. education about ADR, institutional cooperation between States and providers of ADR services), Japan seems to be way more cautious, especially when the legislation is concerned. The latest developments in 2015 confirm that Japan is not interested in strengthening privately-managed ADR, and the discussion about amending the legislation reflects this approach. Over two years, the (partial) results of the research were presented in 4 papers and 14 conferences/seminars/invited lectures.
