More About This Title Power

English

A concept that is sought by various disciplines, mediation is a very old practice that is reborn today to meet the needs of the contemporary world. It features two parts, sometimes very different in nature and one third that helps the two parties to agree. The power and legitimacy of the third party depend only on the authority they recognize.

The very definition of mediation varies according to the contexts of application. The debate is animated by the ideologies and disciplines that usually intervene in social life: theology, law, etc. Mediation is not just a conflict management technique, it is also a means of communication, a mode of relationship between the state and civil society and as such it intervenes at all levels of society.

What are the theoretical foundations of the notion of mediation and how do research teachers appropriate this concept and use it in their problems? These questions are answered by this worker because mediation is a process of overcoming conflict and building social bonds. It belongs to a field of research fully invested by the Sciences of Information and Communication.
