In this chapter, Simon Mason aims to contribute to reflections of policy makers and the wider public who seek to understand or shape their state’s mediation profile. It outlines a series of questions that highlight key dimensions of a country’s mediation profile, such as motivation, role, resources and strategy. This chapter also provide some illustrative responses from the perspective of Switzerland, Norway, Germany, South Africa, Russia and the USA. Rather than mapping or comparing these different countries mediation profiles, the chapter illustrate the diversity of possibly responses to clarify the meaning and relevancy of the questions. By reflecting on and responding to these questions from a country’s specific perspective, a country’s mediation profile will gain in clarity and effectiveness.
