The Asia Pacific Dispute Resolution Project is based in the Institute of Asian Research at the University of British Columbia. The Project involves a network of colleagues from UBC and from partner institutions in North America and Asia. This Project supports research, analysis and policy proposals on cross-cultural dispute resolution in the areas of trade and human rights, with particular attention to Canada, China and Japan.
The objective of the APDR Project is to propose innovative approaches to dispute resolution that Canadian and international communities of scholars and policy makers may apply to pursue new opportunities for cultural communication and reconciliation.
