New Negotiation, Conflict & Mediation Research and Activity

New Book - The Bartering Mindset:  Many people find it hard to negotiate integratively because they see negotiations as monetary transactions. In this book, Brian Gunia urges negotiators to redefine negotiations and relate to them as bartering trades instead.

New Book - Nordic Mediation Research: Edited by Anna Nylund, Kaijus Ervasti, and Lin Adrian, this book presents twelve unique studies on mediation from researchers in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The book is open access, and can be read in its entirety here. 

Restorative Justice: The new issue of Conflict Resolution Quarterly, the peer-reviewed journal of the  Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR), focuses on school-based applications of restorative justice. (The issue is open to read and download for free).  

From the State of the Union, to the State of Negotiation and Conflict Resolution: In a  special issue of Harvard’s Negotiation Journal, 35 negotiation & conflict resolution experts weighed in with articles exploring the effects of Donald Trump’s presidency on a wide range of negotiation and conflict issues.
