Abstract: A meaningful interpretation of the concept of “political mediation model” was carried out and the variety of basic mediation models used in the sphere of political activity was determined. It was determined that the political mediation model is an idealized / conditional description of a set of certain techniques, tools, methods and strategies used by a political mediator, as well as the style of his behavior and the way of interacting with the participants of political mediation. The transfer of the content of the mediation models of R.Faulkner, K.Haselgrove-Sparin and J.Thomas, the grid of mediation techniques of L.Riskin, the meta-model of mediation of N.Alexander, practical mediation models of R.Baruch Bush and J.Folger proposed a slightly different approach to the classification of mediation models in the sphere of political activity. It was proposed to consider the role of the political mediator in the procedure of political mediation as a key criterion for the classification of political mediation models. According to this criterion, the following basic models of political mediation are distinguished: facilitative; evaluative; interest-oriented; transformative; restorative; narrative; humanistic; incentive. The target orientation of political mediation models is distinguished: facilitative political mediation aims to achieve a mutually beneficial agreement between the parties to a political conflict/dispute; evaluative political mediation involves providing a legal assessment and forecast regarding the political conflict / dispute being resolved; interest-oriented political mediation helps to develop a joint mutually acceptable solution; transformational political mediation is aimed at transforming (for the better) a political conflict / dispute; restorative political mediation is focused on restoring justice; narrative political mediation seeks to reinterpret a political conflict / dispute; humanistic political mediation is carried out to strengthen the parties to a political conflict / dispute through establishing a dialogue; incentive political mediation helps encourage the parties’ activity in finding a mutually acceptable solution.
