Conflict resolution theory and practice have been increasingly criticised for ignoring the
centrality of culture in their attempts to find theories and models that are applicable
universally, not only across cultures but also across levels of society. Mediation is one
form of conflict resolution, which has come to occupy a central position in the resolution of
disputes both at international and local levels. At the level of family disputes, family
mediation has failed to engage users from different ethnic groups in England and Wales.
This thesis explores the hypothesis that culture and, in particular, culturally defined
concepts of gender are the important factors determining the success or failure of mediation
in divorce disputes. / J. A. Clark Charitable Trust
