Abstract: In this article, will discuss the emerging process of Complex Public Conflicts, a new category in conflict management. Specifically, we will focus on the ethnographic analysis of its progressive stateness in the state of Salta (Argentina) based on the experience of its incorporation in the field of criminal mediation. This notion includes intervention in disputes that involve collective subjects such as extended family groups, neighborhood groups, indigenous communities, etc. At the same time, this modality considers public interest and state actors as part of the conflict and as those who should contribute to resolving them, assuming an intervention approach different from classical mediation. We understand that the emergence and permanence of this institutional initiative articulate the growing concern about a certain type of persistent social conflict in Salta (such as the land demands of indigenous communities) with different individual and group commitments and motivations of the mediators with the practice of mediation. All this upgrades a distinctive feature of the Mediation field: its innovation and permanent expansion. Available from: https://doi.org/10.35295/osls.iisl/0000-0000-0000-1368
