Description
Summary:Conflict is an inevitable part of communal living, where people interact and communicate. Yet based on human existence, people are social creatures who communicate with various other individuals. Thus, for as long as these interactions and communications have occurred, people have started conflicts for various reasons. The study’s subject is mediation, a conflict management and resolution method that has been used as a peaceful means for resolving individual disputes that arise out of legal matters for various reasons. Mediation became a part of the Turkish legal system through Law No.6325 on Mediation in Civil Disputes and is used with the aim of resolving interparty disputes (voluntary or compulsory) that arise out of private law before being referred to judicial remediation. Even though mediation appears to have a legal foundation, further examination shows it to also be closely related to other disciplines. Mediation is not a trial that flows with party submissions, as seen in lawsuit procedures. The essence of mediation involves analyzing conflicts of parties in dispute by listening to and understanding the parties, namely by getting to know the people who are in conflict. In this context, the main theme of the article is to establish a close connection between mediation and other disciplines such as communications, neurology, and psychology and to build bridges among these with the aim of contributing to the field on this basis.
