This subject explores the role that culture plays in conflict and its resolution.
In a multicultural country such as Australia and in parts of the country such as north
Queensland, where there is more than one strong culture, an understanding of culture
is critically important. Historically, people who work to mediate disputes have been
expected to remain culturally neutral or removed from their own worldview when negotiating
conflict in cross-cultural settings. Increasingly, however, mediators are finding
that embracing and seeking to understand culture is a more practical and effective
strategy. Examining the role of culture can help conflict resolution practitioners
improve the ways in which they relate to disputing parties, and expand the range of
tools they can use when practising mediation in cross-cultural contexts.
