Reihe: Transdisciplinary Management of Ecological and Social Crises

The world is in crisis at every level: the planet, humanity, and all kinds of human communities, including working communities. The result is likely to be violence and chaos. And yet, man lives and can only live with others. Relationships in all their forms therefore need to be developed with a view to building a common future.

However, when this in-between has been broken, when it is no longer possible to get along, when violence threatens or develops in a sometimes dramatic way, it may be necessary for both sides to call on an external third party.

This book is based on decades of professional experience in the practice of corporate mediation. It examines the crucial role of mediators in resolving conflicts and fostering understanding in various contexts. By exploring real-life case studies and theoretical frameworks, the book offers valuable insights into how mediation can be a powerful tool for creating a harmonious and sustainable future.
