Abstract: On May 2011, given the fact that transaction relations between People’s Republic of China and Greece are increasingly stronger, due to the dynamic opening of the PRC to the international markets and the geographically strategic place of Greece in Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, it was announced that the Hellenic Center of Mediation and Arbitration has signed an agreement of cooperation with the CCPIT and its branches. This information was the starting point to explore and further compare the relation between these two completely different mediation systems in depth and to find the golden line of communication between them. In Greece, there have been multiple comparative studies of the Greek Mediation Framework with almost every European Union’s Mediation Framework but not with one from an Eastern country. On the other hand, China’s Mediation Framework has mostly been compared with the United States of America’s Mediation Framework and not with a European Union’s one. The current study will try to explore how two completely different legal orders, an Asian and a European one, have implemented the mediation system, by observing the different way the mediation was introduced to their legal systems and then try to find possible lessons and reforms that they can introduce to each other.
Keywords: Greece, China, mediation, mediation rules, Arb-Med model, comparison.
