Mediation is a structured dispute resolution process in which a neutral third party — the mediator — facilitates communication and negotiation between disputing parties without imposing a binding decision. Its parameters are: (1) voluntary participation by all parties, (2) a neutral facilitator who has no authority to impose outcomes, (3) confidential proceedings, and (4) focus on interests rather than positions. It persists through institutional adoption in legal and organizational systems, professional mediator training programs, and sustained practice that maintains the role and technique across disputes.
