The importance of intercultural mediation is based on the idea that it enhances effective relations between cultures, by facilitating their communication. Therefore, exploring the meaning of facilitation of communicative processes is important to understand mediation and the role of mediators; for this purpose, studies on conflict management, interpreting studies, and studies on intercultural communication can provide fundamental perspectives. These studies allow the identification and the combination of the most important components and presuppositions of mediation which have been observed by different theories, and the reflection on the meaning of mediation when it is applied to particular contexts, which are defined as "intercultural".
