Abstract

In the past 30 years mediation has emerged as a significant dispute resolution narrative around the world. It contains many stories told by different story-tellers -- stories about diverse practices, communities and courts, in creasing institutionalisation, regulation, accreditation, standards, research and theoretical developments. Together these stories weave a tapestry of our social and cultural experience of mediation and define mediation as a narrative, a practice and a profession.
