Abstract

Mediation often fails because disputants scheme, lie, and become emotionally untethered. Productive mediation requires cooperation, self-possession, and a degree of sincerity among disputants. Improving the capacity of disputants to engage harmoniously to achieve resolution is essential, as discussed in the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (the Singapore Mediation Convention). Confucius believed that ritualized mediation most effectively settled public disputes. Confucian rituals transmit norms and expectations, manifest sincerity, promote self-control, and unite disputants for harmonious resolutions, which can significantly improve modern mediation. This has implications for settlement satisfaction, mediator precision, mediation integrity, social harmony, and savings in time, money, and effort that would otherwise be allocated to litigation. Candidate rituals include calming words and actions during mediation when parties become overly competitive or heated, traditional tea ceremonies, feng shui (風水) influenced mediation environments, and traditional music.

儒家仪式能改善冥想吗?
调解往往会失败,因为纠纷者策划、撒谎,情绪失控。富有成效的调解需要争端各方的合作、自主和一定程度的诚意。正如《联合国调解产生的国际解决协议公约》(《新加坡调解公约》)所讨论的那样,提高争端各方和谐参与以实现解决的能力至关重要。孔子认为,仪式化调解最有效地解决了公共纠纷。儒家仪式传递规范和期望,体现真诚,促进自制,团结纠纷者达成和谐解决,可以显著改善现代调解。这对和解满意度、调解员的准确性、调解的完整性、社会和谐以及节省本应用于诉讼的时间、金钱和精力都有影响。候选仪式包括在调解期间,当双方变得过于激烈或激烈时,平静的言语和行动,传统的茶道,风水(風水) 受影响的调解环境和传统音乐。

期刊介绍: International Negotiation: A Journal of Theory and Practice examines negotiation from many perspectives, to explore its theoretical foundations and to promote its practical application. It addresses the processes of negotiation relating to political, security, environmental, ethnic, economic, business, legal, scientific and cultural issues and conflicts among nations, international and regional organisations, multinational corporations and other non-state parties. Conceptually, the Journal confronts the difficult task of developing interdisciplinary theories and models of the negotiation process and its desired outcome.
