The Cold War And The Discipline Of Negotiation, Bazil Cunningham
The Cold War And The Discipline Of Negotiation, Bazil Cunningham
Global Tides
The Cold War period is perhaps one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history apart from the calamity of World War I and World War II. The juxtaposition of two world superpowers and the proliferation of nuclear arms resulted in extreme tension, uncertainty, and fear during the Cold War era. Although nuclear warfare was averted, experts all unanimously agree that the world barely escaped unscathed. This paper will provide detail surrounding the history of the Cold World Era, an in-depth discussion regarding the application of Negotiation theory to this conflict, and any conclusions that can be drawn. The synthesis …

Improving Lawyers’ Judgment: Is Mediation Training De-Biasing?, Douglas N. Frenkel, James H. Stark
Improving Lawyers’ Judgment: Is Mediation Training De-Biasing?, Douglas N. Frenkel, James H. Stark
All Faculty Scholarship
When people are placed in a partisan role or otherwise have an objective they seek to accomplish, they are prone to pervasive cognitive and motivational biases. These judgmental distortions can affect what people believe and wish to find out, the predictions they make, the strategic decisions they employ, and what they think is fair. A classic example is confirmation bias, which can cause its victims to seek and interpret information in ways that are consistent with their pre-existing views or the goals they aim to achieve. Studies consistently show that experts as well as laypeople are prone to such biases, …
Mindfulness, Emotions, And Mental Models: Theory That Leads To More Effective Dispute Resolution, Peter Reilly
Mindfulness, Emotions, And Mental Models: Theory That Leads To More Effective Dispute Resolution, Peter Reilly
Peter R. Reilly
At the core of nearly all great negotiators, mediators, lawyers, and leaders is a person who has learned to connect with other people, that is, to build relationships of trust, cooperation, and collaboration. This Article argues that when people learn a sense of "self" and "other" through both theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding of mindfulness and human emotion, connections with others are more likely to be made, and important relationships are more likely to be built.
My goal, then, is to begin thinking about how one might bring mindfulness and emotions from the “mind level” to what human relations …

Happiness At The House Of Mouse: How Disney Negotiates To Create The "Happiest Place On Earth", Lauren A. Newell
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Poets rhapsodize about it, the Beatles sing about it, philosophers debate it, psychologists study it, and chocolate induces it. Disney, on the other hand, claims title to it: happiness. This Article examines, in the context of Roger Fisher and Daniel Shapiro's "Core Concerns" framework and general negotiation theory, the degree to which The Walt Disney Company creates happiness for those at the Walt Disney World Resort, particularly Walt Disney World's guests and cast members. It begins with a brief discussion of happiness and of negotiation theory. This Article next examines how Disney creates at Walt Disney World a negotiating environment …

Building The Emotionally Learned Negotiator, Erin Ryan
Building The Emotionally Learned Negotiator, Erin Ryan
Erin Ryan
This essay reviews three recent books on the significance of emotion in negotiation and dispute resolution (Fisher & Shapiro: BEYOND REASON: USING EMOTIONS AS YOU NEGOTIATE; Peter Ladd: MEDIATION, CONCILIATION AND EMOTION: A PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE FOR UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION; and Lacey Smith: GET IT! STREET-SMART NEGOTIATION AT WORK: HOW EMOTIONS GET YOU WHAT YOU WANT), situating each work within a theory of practice for emotionally learned negotiators. After discussing the how the appearance of emotional sterility became synonymous with “professionalism” (and the toll this has taken on professional interaction), the piece sets forth a functional theory of emotion …
The Discourse Beneath: Emotional Epistemology In Legal Deliberation And Negotiation, Erin Ryan
The Discourse Beneath: Emotional Epistemology In Legal Deliberation And Negotiation, Erin Ryan
Erin Ryan
All lawyers negotiate, and all negotiators deliberate. This article addresses the pervasive but unrefined use of emotional insight by deliberating and negotiating lawyers, and suggests that legal education could improve lawyering by adopting a fuller model of legal thinking that takes account of this “epistemological emotionality.” In forming the beliefs that underlie choices made during deliberation and negotiation, people rely on insights informed by past and present emotional experience. Such epistemological emotional input fuels a pre-linguistic, quasi-inductive reasoning process that enables us to draw on stored information about emotional phenomena to hypothesize about motives, behavior, and potential consequences. As deliberation …

Lawyer-Negotiator As Mood Scientist: What We Know And Don't Know About How Mood Relates To Successful Negotiation, The, Clark Freshman, Adele Hayes, Greg Feldman
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article explores two related questions: First, does mood7 shape how well lawyers succeed at negotiation?" Second, can lawyers succeed better at negotiation by understanding and managing the role of mood? We begin by exploring what scientific evidence we currently have about how mild changes in mood are associated with significant differences in success at negotiation. Ultimately, we argue that existing scientific evidence shows mood plays a far more complicated role than negotiators and negotiation scholars usually imagine, but that further research needs to address more carefully exactly how mood works and how it affects lawyers and legal negotiation. We …
