More Alternative Resolutions
Arbitration - Arbitration is a method of resolving
a dispute in which the disputants present their
case to an impartial third party, who then makes
a decision for them which resolves the conflict.
This decision is usually binding.
Facilitation - Facilitation is done by a third party who
assists in running consensus-building meetings.
The facilitator typically helps the parties set ground
rules and agendas, enforces both, and helps
the participants
keep on track and working toward their mutual goals.
Negotiation - Negotiation is bargaining--it is the process of discussion and give-and-take
between two or more disputants who seek to find a solution to a common problem. Negotiation
occurs between people all the time--between parents and children, between husbands and wives,
between workers and employers, between nations.
Empowerment - Empowerment means giving a person or group more power. This may
be done by the party alone, through education, coalition building, community organizing,
resource development, or advocacy assistance. It can also be done by a mediator,
who can work with a person or group to help them represent themselves more effectively.
