The article begins with a brief discussion of issues relating to the concepts of conflict and of system. The possible contributions of mediation to the transformation of destructive large‐scale conflict systems are analyzed. Then, the various mediator services that can help transform destructive large‐scale conflicts are analyzed. Subsequently, the variety of mediator roles is examined, as they function internally or externally in conflict systems. Finally, illustrative mediation cases are examined, considering unsuccessful mediation efforts. In conclusion, the implications of the analysis for system theory and for conflict analysis and resolution are noted. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
