los angeles dimensione conflittuale caratterizza sempre più le società multiculturali. Quelli di natura culturale o religiosa si moltiplicano e assumono contorni di grandezze inaspettate, talvolta paragonabili ai conflitti fra Stati.

Il concentration si sposta quindi dalle ragioni del conflitto alle prassi mediative applicate consistent with evitare che si arrivi advert aggredire in keeping with vincere l’altra parte esercitando los angeles forza della violenza.

Il fallimento delle cornici multiculturaliste in questo ambito è ormai sotto gli occhi di tutti. Le dinamiche interculturali sembrano invece fornire strumenti più adatti in keeping with intervenire. Mentre le scienze sociali hanno già cominciato advert approfondire i contenuti concettuali e le possibilità applicative dell’intercultura, il diritto sembra muovere ancora in primi passi in questa direzione, che tuttavia già si rivela ricca di opportunità.

Questo libro guida il lettore, anche quello non particolarmente esperto, alla comprensione degli aspetti concettuali della teoria dei conflitti, specialmente di quelli identitari – culturali o religiosi. Espone e discute alcuni metodi applicativi di mediazione, ed infine introduce alle potenzialità del diritto interculturale.
