The Future of Extra-Administrative Mediation.
In addition to mediation which institutionalized at the highest level and initiated by public authorities, numerous social activies perform 'mediation' (family, community, social, judicial, political, etc.). Although they are interesting and useful, most of these more closely resemble experiments in negotiation and conflict resolution techniques, but few reveal any form of mediation as a mode for managing social tensions. It is carried out through the intervention of a third, neutral, independent party, with no other authority than the one freely granted and recognized by the parties involved. Beyond problems of terminology, the future of mediation depends largely on the consideration it is given on the institutional framework of such experiments, as well as on the training and ethics of the mediators.
