Reframing as an argumentative competence in dispute mediation

Jermini-Martinez Soria, Chiara ; Greco, Sara (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021COM005.

Greco, Sara ; Rigotti, Eddo

On the basis of a systematic empirical analysis of mediation cases, we first show that reframing encompasses a change of issue,...
