This authoritative and comprehensive collection presents outstanding research on negotiation and conflict resolution that views negotiation as a multi-party decision making process. Negotiation and conflict resolution are conceptualized as a decision-making activity, where the individual perceptions of each party and the interactive dynamics of multiple parties are critical elements.
