Conflict Mediation

Conflicts are results of every day human behavior. They are not only a source of fear and violence, but also a stepping stone to mutual understanding. Conflict mediation is a voluntary and respectful way of solving problems before they grow out of hand. This book focuses on different kinds of mediation; family, business, and social related, seen from a nordic perspective. Is there a way of managing conflicts that is characteristic for the nordic countries?
