	International Negotiation: Abstracts
		"Negotiating Identity" is a title that has appeared with great frequency at meetings of professional associations of anthropology and area studies, to the point where it began to intrigue editors of the journal, International Negotiation.
		Contributions from the literature on social identity for negotiation theory are discussed in terms of three dimensions of identity.
		A third dimension concerns the spread of identities in a population, which are shown to influence the credibility of negotiating commitments, the role played by domestic politics in international negotiation, and the willingness of national representatives to enter into regional or global agreements.

		The implication of this for a theory of decision support is that both the level at which the need for support is generated and the type of support required (and available) is likely to shift from phase to phase of the decision process.
		The use of behavioural theories, composite cases and other generalizations requires reasoning on the representations of the decision maker and her problem so that their features and aspects that can be compared with the available generalizations.
		They can be used to evaluate negotiating tactics, determine relationships between requirements and aspirations and feasible alternatives, evaluate the stability of alternative proposals, etc. Whatever the range of methods available through the system, their selection of methods and use should be controlled by the support system which also interprets the results.

		All negotiations in international organizations and all multilateral conferences are chaired by member state representatives or supranational officials, with mandates to manage the agenda, structure the deliberations, and broker agreements.
		In later stages of this project, the theory is intended to serve as the backbone of a study of the chair in international bargaining, with the EU Council Presidency as the main empirical testing ground.
		The theory is causal in that it specifies the mechanisms that serve to generate specific outcomes, and general in that its logic extends beyond specific empirical contexts.

	Dispute Resolution Journal: Negotiation Theory and Application: The Next Generation
		In 1965, a book called Behavioral Theoij of Labor Negotiations posited that the theory of labor negotiations can be applied not just in collective bargaining and labor relations, but in other sectors of society as well.
		Today their theory is almost routinely applied in business settings, public policy, community and international relations, and of course, labor-management relations.
		The book shows how negotiation theory is holding up amid all the changes in our society, and it even expands the theory's applicability.

	Korobkin-Teaching Tips
		While this might be true in all fields, it is especially so in the area of negotiation, since negotiation professors traditionally have had to cobble together their course materials from scratch.
		In the negotiation simulations, each student is assigned a role and is given background information that is either common knowledge to all parties or is confidential to students playing that particular role.
		In order to grade negotiations, this important element must be artificially excluded from the exercise (for example, by assigning "points" for each possible result and limiting negotiators to the range of results that are pre-scored).

		A more detailed discussion of my approach to teaching negotiation and options for structuring the course, along with detailed lecture notes and all materials necessary for weekly simulations, can be found in the Teacher's Manual and Simulation Exercises for Negotiation Theory and Strategy.
		That is, I want you to be able to watch a negotiation and understand not only what the negotiators are doing but why they are doing it and whether their tactics help to accomplish their objectives.
		There is no single “right way” to negotiate, but a thorough understanding of the process will enable you to thoughtfully develop approaches to negotiating that are consistent with your personal skills and temperament and will maximize the chances of achieving your negotiation goals.

	Center for Dispute Resolution - Negotiation
		Negotiation – everyone does it, but how well you do it is the difference between getting the best agreement possible or simply getting a compromise that satisfies no one.
		This training intertwines the major components of negotiation theory – attitudes, styles, tactics, and strategies – with practical applications.
		Special Note: Because mediation can be defined as “assisted negotiation” this training is extremely beneficial in helping mediators to better understand the negotiation dynamics that occur in mediation and to better select techniques to overcome barriers to resolution.

	New Directions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		One problem with trying to measure ‘training effectiveness’ is that the processes of negotiation and conflict resolution are not single skills, but actually a complex set of sub-skills such as defining issues, framing, listening, brainstorming, packaging, questioning, persuasion and argumentation.
		However, in reality, most of us negotiate within a long-term relationship--family, friendships, coworkers, etc. Greater attention needs to be given to developing models of how people actually negotiate within long term relationships, and how we can instruct students to do this more effectively.
		This assumption may not be true, and more work is needed on negotiation theory across the lines of gender and culture.

	Pacific Region Forum: Cross-Cultural Face-Negotiation: An Analytical Overview
		Professor Ting-Toomey suggests from her recent research that before we send any managers overseas, or before we negotiate business deals with people from different cultures, it is necessary to learn about their cultural assumptions and the attitudes about the communication process.
		Much of the management and communication theories in the literature today contain Eurocentric biases which include theories on motivation, leadership, equity, etc. based on individualistic orientation rather than global orientation.
		When face is negotiated, especially in Asian cultures, there usually are larger group implications.

		This paper addresses these questions by focusing on a non-cooperative approach to negotiations, which is particularly relevant for the study of international negotiations.
		By reviewing non-cooperative bargaining theory, non-cooperative coalition theory, and the theory of fair division, this paper will try to identify the connection among these different facets of the same problem in an attempt to facilitate the progress towards a unified framework.

	Negotiation Strategies and Market Efficiency Among Autonomous Negotiating Agents
		Drawing from previous work in the fields of artificial intelligence, experimental economics, game theory, and negotiation theory, ten different negotiating agents are developed and implemented with source code in Java.
		These agents engage in negotiation in a simulated marketplace and the results are examined for market efficiency and the distribution of market utility.
		The efficiency of each negotiation style to result in high levels of utility both on an individual level and a systemic level are discussed.

	Face Negotiation Theory
		Just like the Face Negotiation theory explains the characteristic of high- and low-context cultures, Tannen shows that men and women communicate in radically different ways: women's talk is focused on 'connection,' whereas men tend to use communication to achieve status and maintain independence.
		Because Tannen herself recognized that like Face Negotiation, her theory was dealing with cross-cultural communication, she used the term "genderlect" to describe it.
		Both theories maintain that people's inter-cultural conflict can be reduced by recognizing, understanding, accepting, and adapting to the differences with another's culture.
