It includes negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and other methods of conflict resolution.

It's often used in business, legal, and interpersonal disputes, aiming for a mutually beneficial resolution while minimizing conflict and maintaining relationships.

Arbitration is the process of resolving legal disputes outside of court. It involves an impartial third party known as an arbitrator who reviews the evidence presented by both sides and makes a binding decision.
