ЕТИЧНІ ДИЛЕМИ СУЧАСНОГО ПОЛІТИЧНОГО ПОСЕРЕДНИЦТВА: АДАПТАЦІЯ ДО СУЧАСНИХ ВИКЛИКІВ

Abstract

In the contemporary global context, the role of political mediation is increasingly pivotal in resolving conflicts at every stratum, from the local to the global arena. However, amidst rapid global transformations, ethical dilemmas in mediation processes become more pronounced and demand urgent attention. This article focuses on a comprehensive examination of current ethical conundrums in political mediation. It pays particular attention to the mediator’s responsibility, the selection of strategies and methodologies that foster trust and dialogue, and a critical analysis of mediation examples that demonstrate a diversity of approaches and outcomes. The piece thoroughly investigates the broad spectrum of challenges associated with the application of ethical principles in mediation processes and attempts to discern how modern global trends and challenges affect conventional political mediation methods. It also provides a historical perspective, scrutinizing the evolution of academic perspectives on ethical dilemmas in politics through various historical epochs. The study observes that the ethical issues in contemporary political mediation and its adaptation to new challenges often remain outside the scope of scholarly discourse. This lack of adapted concepts and methodologies necessitates further academic efforts and scrutiny of ethical issues within the context of current political negotiations and mediation. The author suggests additional research into the impact of global trends, such as globalization, technological innovations, and an increase in political mediation actors, on the ethical dimensions of this sphere.
