Abstract

AbstractMediation is often used in North America to resolve public policy conflicts. Its basic techniques are well understood, and its successes are well documented. Beyond the Western European context, however, we know much less about the cross‐cultural applicability of this process. This article chronicles an environmental mediation in a Central European nation that tested the transportability of North American public policy dispute resolution processes into a region with a radically different history that is now undergoing dynamic change. It offers a snapshot of the advantages and limitations of using mediation in cultures that lack our traditions of process neutrality and bureaucratic accountability.
