The difference between mediation and conciliation
Article Abstract:
Mediation can be an effective means to resolve disputes because it grants negotiating power to disputants. The meditator is not required to make a decision for disputants but encourages disputants to make a mutual decision. This differs from conciliation, where the conciliator offers a nonbinding decision. Confidentiality and the personal skills of the mediator are important components to the mediation process.
