Introduction
Mediation in the contentious-administrative field is a valuable opportunity for public administrations, offering an alternative and effective way to resolve conflicts. The mediation process, supported by the court, offers a space for confidential, flexible and participatory dialogue, where all possible solutions can be explored, respecting the principle of legality. It also facilitates the resolution of often deadlocked situations, maintaining control over the solution, fostering a culture of collaboration and understanding, which allows citizens to feel heard and closer to the different administrations.
Mediation is a useful and effective tool for addressing numerous issues in public administrations, simplifying their resolution, with a lower economic, social and personal cost. And, at the same time, it is an opportunity to contribute to pacifying conflicts and reducing the use of unnecessary resources and executions by offering a space for consensus between the parties, showing a better, closer and more efficient public service.
