Mediation Synthesis

Abstract

I have now introduced the mediation mechanism and discussed its first three stages. In this chapter, further analysis will complete the discussion of personal and social hierarchies, their concerns and expectations began in the previous chapter, and I shall describe the final stages of mediation. I will elaborate further on the notions of conflict, balance, compromise and combination, incorporating a discussion of the relevant degrees of satisfaction and dissatisfaction that mediation may offer. Finally, I shall attempt to present mediation in a synthesised manner, including all stages and processes.
