Mediation in complex multi-party disputes

Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Mediation is on the rise but it is lagging behind in certain fields such as in the resolution of complex disputes. This article addresses how biases in the decision-making process for selecting either mediation or litigation surrounding dispute resolution works in the disadvantage of mediation. It argues that a lack of awareness of how to use mediation in complex matters and incomplete information on the possible roles and responsibilities mediators may fulfill in organizing a successful dispute resolution process, results in biased decision making. The author argues that mediation practice could increase significantly if successful approaches were more widely available and understood.
