Preferred term

dispute resolution  

Definition

  • Dispute processes, those that initiate disputes and those that operate to resolve them, are cultural processes. These must be analyzed and understood within the social and cultural context of a community rather than as a matter of individuals' rights and wrongs according to a logical political system of standardized jurisprudence.
