What is the difference between conflict resolution, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and mediation?

0

Mediation is one form of conflict resolution and the one most practised and familiar. Conflict Resolution (CR) is the broader subject area and theories of conflict and approaches to conflict resolution are an integral part of both courses. Alternative Dispute Resolution is mainly practised in a court setting. The courses look at theories about conflict and different forms of conflict intervention; however mediation is a major component as it is the most widely practised form of conflict resolution. This is often debated, and a balance can be achieved through discussion. The course does NOT advocate one model of mediation but introduces students to a range of models, which are changing and developing.
