P. Terrence Hopmann – författare

Managing Global Conflicts presents an overview of major alternative approaches to the analysis of international negotiations developed in the literature of the past sixty years. By combining empirical verification of hypotheses and a broad interest in what can be learned from existing research, P. Terrence Hopmann and Sinisa Vukovic suggest prescriptions for improving the negotiation process to produce better, mutually beneficial outcomes. The authors examine the extensive tradition of theory and research on international negotiation processes at both the intra-state and inter-state levels. They analyze alternative theoretical approaches and the conditions under which these theories may prove most relevant. By introducing elements of complexity at multiple levels, they explore the factors under which different outcomes may emerge from negotiations in conflict scenarios, including relative power, decision-making structures, the roles of individual cognitive frames, images, and cultural practices. Hopmann and Vukovic present a menu of options for evaluating the relationships between the initial conditions of conflict, the negotiation process, and the outcomes of that process in determining the extent to which conflicts are resolved. Featuring case studies and a thorough analysis of the field, Managing Global Conflicts is an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners of negotiation at many levels.

This Handbook presents a nuanced exploration of international agreements, proposing that they are fundamentally political endeavors. It argues that agreements are born from mixed-motive situations, the crucial space where parties have both overlapping goals and conflicting interests.Drawing on practical insights and evidence-based analysis, expert contributors assess how international agreements can create a durable framework to advance shared objectives while managing the divergent values that could otherwise sabotage cooperation. They evaluate formal treaties, informal understandings and global and intra-state deals from various sectors, including environmental, ceasefire, security, business and commercial agreements. Featuring a diverse range of perspectives, the Handbook integrates multiple cultural and disciplinary paradigms to better understand how agreements function in our complex global order.The Handbook on the Politics of International Agreements is a crucial resource for scholars and students of international relations, international law, politics and public policy and conflict resolution. Diplomats, policymakers and practitioners in international law will also benefit from its deep understanding of the dynamics behind international agreements.
