DERECHO MEDIADOR

Abstract

From its beginning, globalisation has been an extraordinary phenomenon for different reasons, among which is that it reduced the distance in values and social relationships among people. At the same time, it has widened the spaces of norms, while showing that the excessive production of norms coincides with the inadequacy of such norms to solve socially complex problems. This incapacity causes conflict between law and society on the one hand, and on the other, law is unable to produce or provide justice and to reduce the distance both among people and between people and institutions. The answer to these problems has come from the praxis, the multiplication of mediation tools that seem able to curb the general emergency situation characteristic of the world of justice. Finally, mediation is the result of a radical process of innovative regulation and a means of communication of the new expectations of social justice.
