Abstract

The article reveals the specifics of preventive mediation and outlines the possibilities of its application in the field of public policy. It is noted that preventive mediation has universal application, but it acquires extremely great importance in the field of public policy under the influence of the implementation of the concept of good governance.

It is shown that, according to J.-F. Six, mediation is represented by the following types: creative mediation, which is aimed at creating new relationships and mutually beneficial solutions; restorative mediation, which is designed to improve existing relationships if they have deteriorated or been interrupted; therapeutic mediation, which resolves an existing conflict; preventive mediation, which prevents conflicts at the stage of potential confrontation, when the parties still maintain constructive relations.

It is found that D. Hoicka singles out proactive leadership as a key principle of preventive mediation, which includes the following tools: open communication, empathy and the search for a common language. This principle and the corresponding tools allow opponents to break the cycle of escalation and work to achieve mutually beneficial results.

It is determined that in the field of public policy preventive mediation functions at the metasystemic, institutional, sectoral and interpersonal levels. It is proven that preventive political mediation is most effective in administrative activities and civil service, interstate and intergovernmental conflicts, judicial / extrajudicial disputes, political activities and public communication, war and post-conflict periods.
