American Negotiating Behavior: Wheeler-Dealers, Legal Eagles, Bullies, and Preachers (Cross-Cultural Negotiation Books)

Informed by discussions and interviews with more than fifty seasoned foreign and American negotiators, this landmark study offers a rich and detailed portrait of the negotiating practices of American officials. Including contributions by eleven international experts, it assesses the multiple influences cultural, institutional, historical, and political that shape how American policymakers and diplomats approach negotiations with foreign counterparts and highlights behavioral patterns that transcend the actions of individual negotiators and administrations.
American Negotiating Behavior is a truly unique study of the American negotiator because it explores the foreign perception of American negotiators. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Center for Strategic and International Studies
