This collection of twelve essays examines the use of mediation in
intranational as well as international disputes so that parallels
and similarities between various approaches could be emphasized and
the whole approach viewed as a universal means of managing human
conflict. Initial chapters treat mediation as a concept, beginning
with an analysis by editors Mitchell and Webb entitled "Mediation
in International Relations: An Evolving Tradition." Other
contributors examine the Falklands/Malvinas conflict, outline
lessons from the South Tyrol on third-party mediation in national
minority disputes, and analyze mediation attempts by the World
Council of Churches in the Sudan Civil War. South African
initiatives and the use of hypergames as an aid to mediation are
also discussed. A concluding essay on "Paradigms, Movements, and
Shifts" as indicators of social invention concludes the volume. The
editors' introduction attempts to link the various topics and to
place each contribution within the overall approach and philosophy
of the book. Innovations are characterized into three types:
innovation in the applications of mediatory processes, innovation
of technique with the development of new forms of mediation, and
innovation of practitioner, with new organizations and individuals
acting as intermediaries. The interdisciplinary approach of this
work and the efforts of its editors to provide a broad analytical
framework for the study of mediation will make this volume useful
for political science and history courses. It will also serve as a
useful guide to policymakers and diplomats.
