The International Summer School on Dispute Resolution offers a class on Intercultural Negotiation/Mediation and some lectures giving a brief introduction to International Arbitration. Mediation, like all other methods of "Amicable Dispute Resolution", has been developed in the USA to resolve disputes outside the public court system. The aim of all the different ADR methods is to work out a lasting solution of any given conflict between the parties involved. They try to avoid disadvantages inherent in the regular court system and offer a possible way to new, alternative solutions, which are not within the competence of a judge. Mediation,
as one method of ADR, uses the mediator, a third party without any interest in the outcome of the dispute between the parties,
to help the parties to overcome the crises. Providing the standard training in both the theory and skills of negotiation and mediation, the course will be taught with simulated exercises and group interchanges. One major objective is to develop negotiation and mediation skills in cross-cultural business transactions involving participants of different nationalities and diverging expectations. |
