“Mediation Simplified – An Interactive Workbook” is India’s first-of-its-kind interactive workbook on negotiation and mediation, published by OakBridge Publishing in 2023. Designed for law-students, teachers, mediators and advocates alike, this book uses a reflective, immersive model: beginning with exercises on personal conflict-management style, moving to negotiation skills, mediation process design, ethics, technology and future of mediation in India. Its aim is to make mediation theory practical and relatable — rather than only academic — by using simulations, worksheets, self-tests, scenarios and role-plays. Whether you are teaching a course on mediation, participating in a mediation session, or looking to up-skill your negotiation and facilitation toolkit, this workbook offers structured hands-on content to enhance your competence.With 360 pages (first edition) it covers: personal style, stakeholder roles (mediator, counsel, party), negotiation tactics, session planning, tricky situations (impasse, power-imbalance), ethics & standards, and Indian mediation context.
