Abstract: | C. C. Honeyman was struck by the flagging "marketability" of mainstream professionally trained mediators in the USA. More and more parties were choosing retired judges and other practitioners who were not classically trained mediators to help them resolve their disputes. Searching for an explanation of this phenomenon, Honeyman found a possible answer in Melbourne, Australia, where he listened with a Western ear to the presentations of coauthors L. Kelly and B. C. Goh about the importance of connectedness and individual perceptions of authority to the parties in the mediation of indigenous disputes. This paper presents the authors' case histories from Australia and Malaysia to illustrate these concepts. |
