A dozen years ago the terms “environmental” and “public policy” were nearly synonymous in practitioners’ descriptions of mediation practice. That picture has changed. This section is the longest in the book both because public policy mediation and facilitation have now branched out into many subject areas and all levels of government, and because the initial practitioners acceptable to parties for this work were first, for the most part, extremely experienced at some other kind of dispute. Those listed here are often, therefore, particularly good sources of information and contacts about other subject fields, and about the dispute resolution field as a whole.

• Environmental Policy



• Public Policy
