Discussions in Dispute Resolution

This book brings together 16 foundational writings in the field of alternative dispute resolution. These writings consist of four pieces from each of the field''s primary subfields--negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and public policy. Each piece has four commenters who answer the question: why is this work a foundational piece in the dispute resolution field? The purpose in asking this simple question is fourfold: to hail the field''s foundational generation and their work, to bring a fresh look at these articles, to engage the articles'' original authors where possible, and to challenge the articles with the benefit of hindsight.
