So far in this course we have generically discussed the various models of mediation (in particular the facilitative one), the skills and tasks necessary for a mediator to conduct a successful mediation. The facilitative approach we studied, through theory and classroom exercises, gave us in-depth insight into mediation in a variety of domestic conflicts, from family to business disputes. However, there is another subfield of mediation, which we have not analyzed. discussed and this is international mediation. International mediation also has different forms. Mediation cases can range from a conflict between two states, an ethnic conflict that has led to violence within a particular state, or perhaps a trade dispute between transnational corporations. The mediation process is inherently difficult, but one can imagine the serious complexities one may encounter when attempting to mediate across ethnic, linguistic, and cultural lines. As someone interested in doing international conflict resolution work, I think it is important to ask whether the necessary roles and tasks will be the same, improved, or in some cases ineffective. The purpose of this essay will be to explore this question by explaining international issues. mediation in relation to some themes and theories that we discussed in class relating to the roles, tasks and skills of mediators.

It is carried out daily by disparate actors such as private individuals, government officials; religious figures, regional, non-governmental and international organisations; ad hocg groups, or s...... middle of paper ......an esteemed interest can offer incentives or threaten punishments, depending on the outcome of the mediation. The idea of ​​credibility is also very important in the international context, in order for a mediator to be able to mediate an outcome that satisfies those he represents he will praise them. Comparing and contrasting these two mediation processes was interesting. We can clearly see some important similarities, as well as some important differences. I find the context of international mediation quite interesting and exciting; to be honest, more than internal mediation. This obviously partly affects my background in international relations. It seems that mediation within the international context creates a context, which works to create a balance of power that works to maintain peace and security, there to support humanity and a better tomorrow.
