Mediation for the twenty-first century:
Connecting the local to the global
This research starts with the need to rethink what mediation is for in the context of modern conflict. The project looks specifically at inclusive mediation, and how we need to move beyond simply adding more diverse actors to existing processes, but need to re-think and redesign the values of the process itself to take into account the needs and interests of all sections of society.
“The complex, volatile and long-lasting nature of contemporary conflicts demands more inclusive mediation processes. These must recognise shifting power structures and connect local, national and global powers.”
