Abstract

Intercultural mediation has become a new buzzword in the wake of globalisation, internationalisation and Europeanisation globally. Publications in the form of articles and book contributions on mediation between the different cultures are no longer uncommon (e.g., Busch, 2005; Busch & Mayer, 2017; Busch & Schröder, 2005; Mayer & Vanderheiden, 2016).

The goal of a conflict should not be victory but progress.

Joseph Joubert (1754–1825)
