This ambitious project seeks to
redesign how negotiation is taught worldwide. Headed by Christopher
Honeyman, James Coben, Sharon Press and Giuseppe De Palo, the project is administered by the
Dispute Resolution Institute at Hamline
University Law School. The invited participants include key scholars and
practitioners from approximately 20 countries and a variety of fields. The
project's first and second meetings (Rome, 2008 and Istanbul, 2009) resulted
in the publications described below. Note: a generous grant
from the JAMS Foundation has permitted the organizers to publish the full
text of both books without charge in PDF form. The first book in the series,
Rethinking Negotiation Teaching, is also now available in Chinese,
Arabic and Turkish translations.
Edited by Christopher Honeyman, James
Coben and Giuseppe De Palo and with 37 contributing authors, Venturing
Beyond the Classroom puts into practice a series of experiments
described in the project's previous book, below. It also offers a
warts-and-all analysis of how the initial experiments didn't always
work --- and what should be done next to improve these new teaching
techniques and topics.
Edited by Christopher Honeyman, James
Coben and Giuseppe De Palo and with dozens of contributing authors,
Rethinking Negotiation Teaching is one of two major products from the
first year of the
Rethinking Negotiation Teaching Initiative. Honeyman,
Coben and De Palo are also guest editors of the April 2009 edition of
Harvard's Negotiation Journal, a
special
issue with nine articles drawn from this initiative.
