In addition, he employs a case study to analyze community mediation as a confessional institution that deploys sociocultural pressures in search of nondisputing self-identities. Finally, he concludes that the search for fixed notions of individual, self, or even community empowerment may entrench, rather than resist, present forms of regulation in dispute resolution arenas. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
