AbstractThe flag post mail relay runners, a communications system established in Cameroon during British colonial rule, laid the foundations for the communications structure of this colonial state. They were a remnant of a pre-colonial communications system and, with the advancement of "modern" communications structures such as roads, telephone lines, and post houses, the flag post runner gradually disappeared. This article explores the role of the runners for the colonial administration in Cameroon and is based mostly on archival research. It describes the runners' system and how it influenced the colonial communications landscape. In addition, the questions of how these runners were involved in the colonial state and what forms of resistance emerged among runners are analysed. Finally, the article discusses the degree to which the subsequent construction of roads, telegraphic communications, and postal networks reflected the role played by mail runners in the British colonial period up to the 1950s.

AbstractIncreasingly, the telephone is being used to conduct mediations and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) activities. Preliminary observations indicate that the use of telephone mediation increases access to mediation for parties and neutrals, decreases costs, requires skilled communicators, and demands well‐controlled hearings. Benefits and concerns about the telephone process are discussed, since it is clear that use of the telephone will be an important partner in expanding the ADR market.
