Professor Martin’s “Political Negotiation: A Handbook”, published
Professor Cathie Jo Martin’s most recent book has just been published by Brookings Institution Press. This important work (coedited with Professor Jane Mansbridge of Harvard) is Political Negotiation: A Handbook.
Political Negotiation: A Handbook explores both the domestic and foreign political arenas to understand the problems of political negotiation. The editors and contributors share lessons from success stories and offer practical advice for overcoming polarization. In deliberative negotiation, the parties share information, link issues, and engage in joint problem solving. Only in this way can they discover and create possibilities, and use their collective intelligence for the good of citizens of both parties and for the country.
