Abstract
Abstract This article details the theory and practice of mediation. The mediation process can be characterized as follows: it is (1) a noncompulsory procedure in which (2) an impartial, neutral party is invited or accepted by (3) parties to a dispute to help them (4) identify issues of mutual concern and (5) design solutions to these issues, (6) which are acceptable to the parties. The mediator’s role is to convey each party’s proposals in a language that is both faithful to the desired objectives of the party and formulated to ensure the highest degree of receptivity by the listener. The article then looks at the profile of a mediator and explores mediator strategies for building a settlement. It also considers environmental dispute mediation.
