Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes the intervention strategy of arbitration. In arbitration, an impartial third party listens to both sides of a dispute and renders a decision that both parties have agreed to accept ahead of time. This differs from mediation, in which the third party assists the parties in reaching their own agreement, and conciliation, in which the third party serves to improve communication and reduce tensions between the parties. Adjudication involves a legal judgment or ruling by a judge or court, and facilitation involves guiding a group or team towards a common goal.
