Ius, Lex et Res Publica Mediation as an Inclusive and Sustainable Method of Resolving Conflicts

The publication is divided into two parts: the first focuses on mediation within the broad context of international environments, taking into account culturally rooted aspects of mediation, while the second part deals with mediation in light of national regulations in selected countries. The book explores mediation as a broad and versatile phenomenon, demonstrating its applicability across a variety of conflict types and adaptability in different contexts – ranging from disputes between states to conflicts within the private sector. Emphasizing its sustainable and inclusive nature, the publication also provides an analysis of mediation from the perspective of its role in international law, particularly its application in shaping relations between states, as well as its significance and origins rooted in philosophy and culture. This interdisciplinary approach allowed for viewing mediation not only as a solution embedded in law at the national and international levels but also as a process influenced by the cultural, historical and philosophical factors present in different communities.
