Articles:In the first part of this article I try to describe the social psychological dynamics of Hungarian society in the 20th century and how it relates to the practice of mediation and then offer some critical observations on the Hungarian Mediation Law itself. This new Hungarian mediation law established a hybrid institution, also called mediation, which has a similar set of foundation principles as the American model but at the same time it’s setup is such that it might indirectly create more conflicts than it resolves. It will be a real challenge for any Hungarian mediator to find a way to facilitate the parties’ informal private discussions while empowering rather than judging them, maintaining an open channel of communication, staying impartial and confidential and at the same time keeping aligned with the rules of the Act on Mediation. 1 Comment  |
