Multiparty Negotiation

Description

The 96 previously published articles and chapters collected in this 4-volume reference offer a thorough overview of the state of research in a valuable field. Each volume is devoted to a separate overall topic: introduction to theory and practice, theory and practice of public dispute resolution, complex litigation and legal transactions, and organizational and international negotiation. These topics are subdivided into sections, including a section on cases, so that readers are provided with an overview of the theory and examples of the key works that contributed to its practice today, with attention to the variety of applications possible. Published in association with the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, of which Susskind was the first director, the work makes an argument for the validity of multiparty negotiation as a unique area of study and features lengthy introductions by the editors to each of the volumes. Susskind, a leader in the field, has included many of his own articles or co-authored works. Crump is with Griffith U. in Queensland, Australia. The work is not indexed.
