MEDIATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CONFLICT SETTLEMENT
MEDIATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CONFLICT SETTLEMENT

Summary/Abstract: The alternative methods of dispute resolution are a relatively new field of study in Romania, and the efforts to regulate by law these methods are even newer. The authors’ opinion is that a precise conceptual identification of the items included in this field of study is a necessity for both the academic community and for the legislators in Romania. Such an endeavor should facilitate a better understanding of the terms, the methods and the instruments used to resolve disputes by other means than the use of violence or adjudication. The study also emphasizes the advantages of using alternative methods to settle disputes among individuals and/or groups, carefully stipulating also the limits involved by these methods.
