Conflict Resolution Methods Research Articles

Медіація як альтернативний метод вирішення конфліктів у кримінальних справах: світовий огляд

The article discusses mediation as one of the forms of restorative justice. Mediation is a modern way of responding to unlawful behavior without resorting to court. This approach promotes a balance of interests between society, the victim, and the offender. It is noted that mediation in criminal proceedings has a positive aspect associated with reducing the judicial workload, reducing the costs of maintaining convicted individuals. The main goal of using mediation during criminal proceedings is to facilitate dialogue between the victim and the suspect/accused, rehabilitation of the offender, awakening a sense of responsibility in the offender, and providing them with an opportunity to rectify the situation and compensate for the harm caused, with the possibility of further reintegration and rehabilitation. It is stated that in Ukraine, mediation has become increasingly popular and relevant as an alternative to judicial processes in resolving various conflicts. It is emphasized that the lack of proper understanding of the effectiveness and potential of mediation among law enforcement agencies, legal professionals, and the public can be a significant obstacle to the implementation of this conflict resolution method in criminal cases. In addition, special attention is given to the experience of foreign countries, and examples of successful implementation of mediation procedures in criminal cases in Norway, Italy, the United States, and Sweden are analyzed. This indicates that international mediation standards serve as an important tool for resolving legal disputes and conflicts outside the judicial system. The conclusion is drawn that mediation as an alternative method of conflict resolution in criminal cases is an effective and promising approach that takes into account the interests of all parties involved, promotes the restoration of harmony in society, and reduces the burden on the judicial system. The widespread implementation of mediation in different countries confirms its success and importance in modern justice. However, to achieve full success, it is necessary to actively promote this method, ensure compliance of legislation with the requirements of mediation, increase public awareness, and enhance the professionalism of mediators. Mediation can play a crucial role in building a just society where conflicts are resolved through dialogue, understanding, and cooperation.

Mediation in the administrative process

The article is devoted to the issues of the peculiarities of mediation in the administrative process of Ukraine as a kind of alternative methods of conflict resolution, which needs improvement and development, taking into account international norms and national needs.
 It was found that in the process of reforming the judicial and law enforcement system, the issue of simplified dispute resolution procedures became relevant, in particular, we are talking about alternative methods (mediation, negotiations, etc.). This approach will make it possible to relieve the courts, speed up the resolution of disputes and help maintain friendly relations between the parties participating in the mediation process.
 It was emphasized that in Ukraine there are a number of cases in administrative proceedings that can be resolved in an alternative way. Alternative means of resolving administrative disputes will allow dynamic resolution of conflicts, in particular those related to traffic accidents, offenses in the field of labor protection and others, the settlement of which is possible under the legislation of Ukraine through the mediation procedure.
 It is noted that the Law of Ukraine "On Mediation” is in effect in Ukraine, the norms of which determine the peculiarities of mediation in civil, economic, administrative proceedings, in the field of notarial activity, modify social relations and require the use of special techniques, methods and methods of regulating mediation relations in legal processes.
 Attention is focused on the fact that for mediation in the administrative process it is important to observe the norms of ethical behavior, in particular, the mediator's code of ethics. In Ukraine today, the unified rules of ethical behavior of the mediator and participants in the mediation process are not legislated. Such rules are adopted by public associations based on the European Code of Conduct for Mediators.
 In administrative and legal practice, the experience of mediation is new, but, as practice shows, it is promising and in demand. The mediation procedure will help resolve the dispute positively for all parties, saving time and money as much as possible, and will also help the parties remain on good terms with each other.

Pendekatan Fenomenologi dalam Resolusi Konflik: Memahami Akar Konflik dengan Mendalam dan Komprehensif

This paper discusses the phenomenological approach in the context of conflict resolution. Phenomenology transforms the traditional view of conflict by delving into a profound understanding of its roots, values, emotions, and the perspectives of individuals involved. In this approach, conflict is seen as a social phenomenon involving individual or group awareness, empathy, sympathy, and collective consciousness. The importance of understanding subjective meanings and individual experiences in conflict is emphasized as the key to effective conflict resolution. The conflict resolution process from a phenomenological perspective involves steps of identification, diagnosis, and treatment designed to uncover and comprehend the conflict's roots comprehensively. The role of the subjects in this process is crucial, as they must possess the ability to empathize, see from various perspectives, and facilitate effective communication. In conflict resolution methods based on the phenomenological approach, reduction also becomes a key element, involving efforts to cleanse understanding from biases and assumptions before taking action. Introspection is also vital, helping subjects become more aware of their roles and contributions in the conflict. The phenomenological approach enables us to resolve conflicts in a more profound, holistic, and sustainable manner. With a deeper understanding of conflict's roots and the emotions involved, we can develop more effective solutions and integrate various perspectives contributing to the conflict.

Rethinking Aggressive behavior in Adolescents: an exploration of the relationship between social Intelligence and empathy

This literature review rethinks aggressive behavior in adolescents and focuses on its analysis through the lens of social intelligence and empathy. Aggressive behavior is essential in adolescence because this period is a critical stage for developing emotional cognition and social skills. This article attempts to explain and analyze how social intelligence and empathy influence aggressive behavior in adolescents. Social intelligence is a crucial factor influencing an individual’s performance in social situations. Empathy is the ability to understand and care about the feelings of others, and empathy is associated with more positive conflict resolution skills. Studies have found a positive correlation between high social intelligence and lower aggressive behavior. Highly empathetic adolescents were more likely to use positive conflict resolution methods, thus reducing the likelihood of aggressive behavior. Finally, the essay makes recommendations for future research, including further exploration of the influence of other factors on aggressive behavior. These studies contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity of adolescent aggressive behavior and provide a theoretical basis for research interventions.

Teaching appropriate conflict resolution methods as an incentive to de-judicialization

The multi-door justice system is an alternative for reducing the number of lawsuits brought before the courts. The so-called crisis of the Judiciary can be alleviated through the use by society of other appropriate methods of conflict resolution, such as negotiation, conciliation, mediation and arbitration. However, in a society characterized by a culture of litigation, the judicialization of social conflicts is also a cultural problem, since citizens commonly only know the judicial route as a mechanism for social pacification. This raises the question of whether ignorance of the multi-door justice system is, in fact, an aggravating factor in the phenomenon of judicialization, so that, contrario sensu, teaching other ways of resolving disputes could be considered a cultural strategy to achieve gradual de-judicialization. Therefore, based on a review of the literature, especially consultations of specialized doctrine and analysis of legal texts, this article presents the theory of conflict and the way in which disputes occur in society, as well as explaining what the so-called multi-door justice system consists of, briefly presenting the appropriate dispute resolution methods that make it up. The aim was also to demonstrate that judicialization is based on a cultural problem, which must be gradually resolved by teaching the techniques for reaching appropriate solutions to the disputes that emerge from social life.

Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps for Mediation as a Conflict Resolution Method in Traffic Conflicts

This study investigated the dynamics of interaction between key variables in traffic accident mediation and how the inherent indeterminacy in these interactions influences the outcomes of mediation. Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps and neutrosophic logic were used to model and quantify the centrality and influence of such variables. The results highlighted the importance of negotiation strategies and emotional management as factors of high centrality in the mediation process. Based on these findings, the implementation of targeted training programs and the adoption of advanced analytical tools to improve mediation practices were recommended. The study underscores the need for a multidimensional approach that considers the complexity and uncertainty in mediator training, supporting efficiency and effectiveness in resolving traffic disputes.

ОНЛАЙН–МЕДІАЦІЯ: ПРОБЛЕМИ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ТА ПИТАННЯ ДОЦІЛЬНОСТІ

This article focuses on the issue of the relevance of online mediation and identifies the problematic issues of its implementation in modern conditions. In particular, the author points out that mediation is considered to be a fairly common method of conflict resolution abroad, which is fixed at the legislative level in many countries around the world. This is because mediation has many advantages, it is a direct way to prevent legal intervention and preserve the relationship between the parties to the dispute. In Ukraine, mediation is also becoming more and more popular and the areas of its application are increasing. In addition, the experience of recent years, which have been rather difficult for Ukraine (Ukraine's military aggression by the Russian Federation, and the introduction of quarantine in Ukraine to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)), makes it necessary to developremote forms of work, negotiations, cooperation of production processes, solving organizational issues, training and providing all services in an online format ("at a distance" or "remotely"). Mediation is no exception. The author's article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of conducting mediation distantly and indicates the ways to increase the popularity of this method of dispute resolution. It is established that for science, mediation is a separate process which is an alternative to a judicial process, and the application of the mediation method is extremely relevant and requires further scientific research, in particular, regarding the application and implementation of this process in various modern areas of regulation (banking, tax, civil, housing, family, inheritance law, etc.), and the application of this method at a distance -online. It is concluded that online mediation should take place in the modern life of Ukrainian society, in which the level of public education is significantly increasing in the context of military aggression by the Russian Federation. In turn, to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of "mediation at a distance", it is necessary to legislate the features of online mediation. The methodological basis of the research is the philosophical and legal principles of social phenomena cognition, in particular, those related to raising the level of education and public knowledge about the method of meditation, which is an effective way to protect the rights of individuals (individuals and legal entities) in various areas of legal regulation. The author uses dialectical, systemic, structural, normative logical, sociological, comparative, and legal methods of cognition. Based on the study, the author proposes to improve the provisions of the current legislation on the use of online mediation.

Analysis of the Relationship of Dominant Coping Strategies and the Degree of Personality Conflict

Relevance. The study is connected with the need for a theoretical, methodological and empirical justification for the existence of unified normative-typical methods and forms of response, in the form of coping strategies that are routinely used by a person in a situation of confrontation with stress, and serve as a way to regulate any conflict situations.The purpose . To analyze the connection between the dominant coping strategy of the individual and the way of conflict regulation.Objectives. Explore the dominant coping strategies of respondents and the features of response and conflict resolution; reveal the existence of a connection between dominant coping strategies and methods of conflict management.Methodology The research methodology is based on the principles of consciousness and activity, the principle of determinism, the principle of the activity of the subject, the cultural and historical concept of L.S. Vygotsky, as well as on personality-oriented approaches to the study of individual strategies, styles and methods of coping behavior and conflict resolution of the individual.Results. A direct correlation was found between the strategy of overcoming stressful situations "Confrontation" and the method of conflict regulation "Competition" and inversely proportional relationship between the parameters "Confrontation" and "Cooperation". Direct correlation between the strategy of overcoming stressful situations "Distancing" and the method of conflict regulation "Avoidance" and inversely proportional relationship between the parameters "Distance" and "Cooperation". Direct correlation between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Search for social support" and such methods of conflict regulation as "Cooperation" and "Compromise". Direct correlation between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Escape-Avoidance" and such methods of conflict regulation as "Avoidance" and "Adaptation". Direct weak correlation was found between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Positive reassessment" and the method of conflict regulation "Adaptation".Conclusion. There are basic behavioral constructs that determine the strategies of a person's behavior when faced with stress and (or) a conflict situation, which are normative-typical forms of emotional, behavioral and cognitive response, which are standardly used by a person in a situation with stress factors, and in any conflict situation.

Postawy aplikantów radcowskich Okręgowej Izby Radców Prawnych w Lublinie wobec mediacji i mediacji online

The phenomenon of popularisation of alternative methods of conflict resolution is widespread in Poland, both at the state and self-government levels. Combining the interdisciplinary achievements of practice and doctrine, numerous projects and programmes are being developed to encourage parties and professional lawyers to use mediation in the process of dispute resolution. However, on the basis of statistical data showing the use of judicial mediation in cases where it could have been used at a level of 1.6%, it should be concluded that there is still a long way to go before mediation becomes a ‘fully-fledged’ method of conflict resolution, constituting a viable alternative to the traditional adjudicative method of dispute resolution. The purpose of the article is to present the results of empirical research conducted by the authors within the framework of scientific activities related to the implementation of the assumptions of the Academic Mediation Centre operating at the Institute of Legal Sciences of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (Lublin). The article consists of three parts. The first one presents the subject, scope and objectives of the research, as well as the research hypotheses and methodological details. The second part presents the results of the empirical research conducted and the partial conclusions. The last part is a summary of the conclusions of the research carried out.

Медіація як альтернативний спосіб вирішення сімейних спорів

The article examines and analyzes family conflicts and the importance of mediation as an alternative way to resolve them. The nature of family conflicts, the peculiarities of family relations and the importance of a constructive resolution of this type of conflict are considered. It was determined that family mediation allows to take into account the high emotionality of family conflicts and is therefore very effective in confusing life situations. The history of the emergence of family mediation, as well as its development in different countries, including Ukraine, is studied. The article examines the effectiveness of new legislation in this field in Ukraine. The principles and stages of family mediation are discussed in detail, including preparation for mediation, gathering information, finding solutions and concluding the procedure. The possibility of including children in the family mediation process and the feedback stage after the mediation is also considered. The advantages of mediation in comparison with other methods of conflict resolution are determined. Mediation helps to create constructive solutions and compromises, taking into account the interests of all parties to the conflict. An important aspect is the ability to take into account the opinion and needs of children in family conflicts. Also, mediation is less expensive and time-consuming compared to court proceedings. The introduction of mediation into the legal system contributes to the reform of justice, ensuring a more effective and peaceful resolution of family disputes, and the Law of Ukraine «On Mediation» creates a legal basis for regulating this process. Voluntary participation and the role of neutral mediators make mediation a promising and humane tool for conflict resolution.

Поняття та основи правового регулювання інституту медіації: український та зарубіжний досвід

The article is devoted to the concept and legal regulation of the institution of mediation in Ukraine. The authors note that today mediation is one of the most effective ways to resolve conflicts, because the decision made as a result of negotiations or mutual agreement of the parties reflects the true interests of the parties. Modern mediation is one of the methods of out-of-court informal settlement of disputes, such as arbitration, conciliation, arbitration courts, expert evaluation. Mediation can be used both in family disputes and in disputes between large corporations or international disputes as not only an alternative method of conflict resolution, but as the most effective one. The authors, analyzing the concept of mediation, point out that the National legislation contains the definition of the concept of mediation in the Law of Ukraine "On Mediation". The authors note that despite certain differences in definitions, the following characteristic features are decisive for the concept of mediation: the involvement of a third, disinterested, independent person who helps to reach a consensus between the conflicting parties; voluntary participation in the mediation process; confidentiality of the dispute settlement procedure. Also, its non-judicial character is one of the characteristic features of mediation. In the article, the authors note that the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Mediation" has its positive consequences, namely: increasing public awareness of mediation as a way of resolving conflicts through negotiations; increasing trust in such an out-of-court method of dispute settlement, thanks to the legal certainty of the mediation procedure, the legal status of the mediator, the rights and obligations of the participants in the mediation procedure, and the outline of the main principles (principles) of its conduct; legalization of the profession of mediator and the corresponding type of activity; determining the mediator's status in interaction with courts, authorities in matters of the mediation procedure; not allowing the mediator to be questioned as a witness regarding the information that became known to him during the participation in the mediation procedure. Legislative regulation of mediation procedures, according to the authors, creates conditions for more active use of this method of conflict (dispute) settlement and their resolution

A primeira Mesa Técnica do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Mato Grosso: desafios e avanços na aplicação de métodos consensuais de resolução de conflitos

In recent decades, the application of consensual methods of conflict resolution in various spaces of public administration has fostered debate about its fit and limits within the Brazilian Courts of Auditors. In this thematic line, inserted in contemporary debates on Democracy, State and Public Administration, this paper describes and analyzes the emblematic but little known case of the First Technical Bureau of the Court of Auditors of the State of Mato Grosso (TCE/MT). This is an experience related to the problem of paving the BR-174, which lasted for years, in which the Technical Table was thought of as a possible tool for conflict resolution. Methodologically guided by bibliographic research and fieldwork, this research reflects on legal-structural problems, which involve the evaluation of public policies and matters of competing competence among federative entities. The conclusions go in the sense that the Normative Resolution regulating the instrument in the TCE/MT is an administrative advance, but lacks full validity requirements for the conclusion of administrative agreements provided for in the Law of Introduction to The Rules of Brazilian Law (LINDB), as well as various procedures to deal with different cases.

Conflict Mitigation Framework and Conflict Detection in O-RAN Near-RT RIC

The steady evolution of the Open RAN concept sheds light on xApps and their potential use cases in O-RANcompliant deployments. There are several areas where xApps can be used that are being widely investigated, but the issue of mitigating conflicts between xApp decisions requires further in-depth investigation. This article defines a conflict mitigation framework (CMF) built into the existing O-RAN architecture; it enables the Conflict Mitigation component in O-RAN's Near- Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC) to detect and resolve all conflict types defined in the O-RAN Alliance's technical specifications. Methods for detecting each type of conflict are defined, including message flows between Near-RT RIC components. The suitability of the proposed CMF is proven with a simulation of an O-RAN network. Results of the simulation show that enabling the CMF allows balancing the network control capabilities of conflicting xApps to significantly improve network performance, with a small negative impact on its reliability. It is concluded that defining a unified CMF in Near-RT RIC is the first step towards providing a standardized method of conflict detection and resolution in O-RAN environments.

도시재생 지역 내 공동체 의식과 삶의 질의 관계에서 갈등대처의 조절효과

The purpose of this study was to explore the preferred parking solution model for residents of Yeonmu-dong, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, in order to address conflicts arising from parking problems and to develop parking relief systems tailored to local characteristics. Yeonmu-dong is situated in an urban regeneration area within the old city center, characterized by low-rise residential density, a high percentage of elderly residents, and a significant number of long-term residents who have lived there for more than a decade. Our primary objective was to investigate whether conflict resolution strategies have a moderating impact on the relationship between residents' sense of community and their quality of life.
 To achieve our research objectives, we gathered academic literature related to urban regeneration, analyzed statistical data from public institutions, and conducted a survey of local residents. We then conducted statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, group difference analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis, to analyze the survey data using SPSS 27 statistical techniques.
 The analysis revealed several key findings. Firstly, residents expressed a preference for parking solutions falling under the categories of 'citizen participation type' and 'existing facility utilization type' to alleviate parking space shortages. Some of the suggested alternatives included 'developing parking lots by purchasing old houses,' 'having parking facilities at home,' 'utilizing public facilities such as school playgrounds,' and 'making use of vacant land.' Secondly, although local residents exhibited a relatively high sense of community and employed positive conflict resolution methods, their overall quality of life was somewhat low. Lastly, the relationship between a positive sense of community and a negative quality of life was found to be influenced by the type of conflict resolution strategies employed.
 In conclusion, while the presence of a significant elderly population in the region can be advantageous, it is important to address the declining number of young residents, which can hinder regional development. Therefore, policies aimed at attracting younger individuals should be considered, along with initiatives to promote privately-led community councils. Furthermore, it was observed that a higher sense of community among local residents positively affects their quality of life. To enhance this effect, policy efforts should include providing conflict management education for local residents.

A Review of Traditional Methods of Conflict Resolution from a Nigerian-African-Perspective

Westernisation and globalization have almost eroded this culture and left in their trail an alien culture of conflict resolution which, in most cases, is at variance with our African ethics and cultural values. The replacement of our grand African methods of conflict resolution with the European methods of conflict resolution has particularly done harm rather than good to our group cohesion as one Nigeria, and generally to our group cohesion as Africans. There is doubtless the fact that an alien culture of conflict resolution on an African soil necessarily undermines our history as one black people, our philosophy as a communal entity and our belief that peace and unity of the collective supersedes the selfish interests of a select few who seek to benefit from conflict. Our history of ethnic clashes, insurgencies and the rise of crime in our African societies attest to the fact that in matters of conflict resolution, Nigerians and indeed Africans have employed the wrong methods, bereft of our African spirit of unity and peace in preference to unrests, upheavals and wars. It is against this backdrop that this paper explored our traditional methods of conflict resolution and made recommendations. In doing this, the paper looked at what conflict is, causes of conflict in Africa, principles of conflict resolution, methods of conflict resolution by the major ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, the use of proverbs rhetoric and folklores in conflict resolution and common methods of conflict resolution in Africa. The paper concluded the discourse with a summary and made some recommendations on the way forward.

Extrajudicial Market Conflict Resolution

The spatial conflict that occurred at Pasar Raya Padang involved parking attendtants, street vendors and shop traders who fought to control the same space. Lefebvre's theory is use to describe the struggle for space as a cause of conflict and Benda-Beckmann's theory to explain behavior in using conflict resolution forums. Through a qualitative approach and data analysis based on primary and secondary sources, this research evaluates the effectiveness of conflict resolution methods adopted by the City Government and seeks alternative solutions through external forums such as the DPRD, Ombudsman and Komnas HAM. The results show that conflict resolution and regulatory enforcement carried out by the City Government are not optimal, triggering conflict escalation. This has not yet reached a resolution, but external forums such as the DPRD, Ombudsman and Komnas HAM play an important role in supervising the implementation of regulations by the City Government and encouraging conflict resolution. Apart from that, this research also found that even though the cancellation or substantive changes to the rules have not been made, this external forum plays an important role in ensuring the safety of trading in the market. This shows that resolving space conflicts does not only involve changing rules, but also monitoring the implementation of existing rules. In terms of implementation, the results can be a recommendation for city governments to involve external forums in resolving spatial conflicts, especially in traditional markets. The results can also be a reference for other researchers who are interested in studying spatial conflict in a similar context. The novelty of this research lies in the discovery of the importance of external forums in monitoring the implementation of policies and conflict resolution mechanisms by city governments, something that has not been found in many previous studies examining spatial conflicts in traditional markets.

Mediation for Management: Dealing with Conflict in the Workplace

Dealing with conflict is an important part of the process of management; however few managers have received formal training in conflict analysis and resolution methods. Mediation, the process of a neutral third party helping parties in a dispute come to a mutually acceptable solution to a dispute is a non-coercive process that can increase job satisfaction, lower employee turnover, and improve the quality of decision making in an organization. Therefore the present paper argues in favor of integrating mediation as part of the core functions of management and as part of a systemic strategy to deal with conflict in the workplace.

General real-time three-dimensional multi-aircraft conflict resolution method using multi-agent reinforcement learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) techniques have been studied for solving the conflict resolution (CR) problem in air traffic management, leveraging their potential for computation and ability to handle uncertainty. However, challenges remain that impede the application of RL methods to CR in practice, including three-dimensional manoeuvres, generalisation, trajectory recovery, and success rate. This paper proposes a general multi-agent reinforcement learning approach for real-time three-dimensional multi-aircraft conflict resolution, in which agents share a neural network and are deployed on each aircraft to form a distributed decision-making system. To address the challenges, several technologies are introduced, including a partial observation model based on imminent threats for generalisation, a safety separation relaxation model for multiple flight levels for three-dimensional manoeuvres, an adaptive manoeuvre strategy for trajectory recovery, and a conflict buffer model for success rate. The Rainbow Deep Q-learning Network (DQN) is used to enhance the efficiency of the RL process. A simulation environment that considers flight uncertainty (resulting from mechanical and navigation errors and wind) is constructed to train and evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can resolve conflicts in scenarios with much higher traffic density than in today’s real-world situations.
