Conflict Management Through Mediation – Opportunities and Barriers to Mediation

Abstract

Mediation seems to be hope for the judiciary offering reduction in court occupancy while ensuring effective legal protection for persons using mediation. It creates conditions that allow the parties to talk directly in a deformed atmosphere, which in turn favors the development of a joint solution acceptable to both parties to the conflict. Obviously, qualified and competent mediators who have experience in effective conflict management are necessary precondition for successful mediation.
