Discussions in Dispute Resolution - The Foundational Articles

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.
