Biography

Bee Chen Goh, School of Law, Bond University, Queensland, Australia

‘After reading Professor Goh’s book, I am convinced that the science of anthropology will help us to better understand contemporary law, legal practice and dispute resolution...Professor Goh’s style of writing means that the book is simply a delight to read. For a scholarly text, this is a real achievement. Its clarity and incisiveness is enhanced by the addition of some of the author’s deep personal insights and experiences in Chinese culture, and in law and dispute resolution...The serious student, practitioner and academic in the field of dispute resolution will gain deep insights into both Chinese and Western dispute resolution by reading this book.’
