ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to share the results of a study that focused on the intercultural conflict and mediation from the perspective of integration in a multicultural society. To arrive at this aim, the researcher dealt with the following themes: the problem of social integration in a multicultural society, multicultural society and intercultural conflict, conflict culture and intercultural mediation in a multicultural society. The bottom line of this paper can be formulated as follows:Modern society as a multicultural society can be characterized by a paradox of conflict. To understand the intercultural conflict in multicultural society, one has to refer to the conflict theory regarding its agenda and central themes. In coping with intercultural conflict, not only the ethnic-cultural differences and diversities but also the problems of recognition surrounding the social-structural power have to be duly considered. Regarding the conflict culture for integration of multicultural society, one has to pay attention to the ambivalence and fundamental point of conflict culture. In relation to the intercultural mediation as a main instrument of conflict culture for social integration, it is desirable to refer to the model of intercultural mediation and to the intercultural mediation competence. Last but not least, intercultural mediation can be interconnected, on a broader horizon of interculturality, with the projects and discourses about the intercultural opening, diversity management, and anti-discrimination.
