Mediators or negotiators would have to resolve their internal differences before attending to clients. There have to be self cleansing and consciousness of a kind that uplifts the veil for practitioners to behold themselves as ready instruments of service. There is great connection between the inner and out-ward dialogue and until Negotiators/Mediators are able to manage these dialogue positively or constructively the process of problem solving might be far-fetched.

And the chart though simple, has the complex reality that the works of Kant have, when trying to understand. Well; is it that the enemy remains ignorance? And how can we actually come to use our minds to see truth? Hence; the point with judges not seeing the real answer is; people don't see the actual problem. They feel things in a utilitarian way; declare that the liberty to be wrong is right; and we end up with stupid is as stupid does instead of the majoritarian or morally obvious truth; which is the price of gas is rising and the price of homes is falling. Anyhow; I notice how the umps (at little league) and the judges are. Sitting atop a contest; where if the rules of truth are observed, we are less likely to allow the building of nuclear reactors which can't withstand tsunami; and we know that is going to happen every so often, don't we? Well; any PON remains inspirational to me at least. And believe me; some days I really need it.

Tough adversarial stances in negotiations have led us to a nasty set of 'tricks' practiced in business and law today. Looking forward to a more civil form in the future.

I see great difficulties in negotiations where multicultural aspects are in play. This comes back to trust. It is far easier to do a deal with those with which you have experience with regard to how they will act. I noticed that ‘trust’ is a highlighted part of your presentation.

]]> Comment on Negotiation Advice for the 112th Congress by Robert E. Houston http://www.hnlr.org/print/?p=848&cpage=1#comment-35 Robert E. Houston Thu, 24 Feb 2011 01:59:31 +0000 http://www.hnlr.org/?p=848#comment-35 This new Congress needs to create new jobs and provide a bipartisan association with each party. Negotiation and compromise can be productive for this country. The lawmakers can not continue to polarize the public and nothing gets done. Each party should make a commitment to find common ground and bring this country together without the rethoric and nonsense. The public suffers the most from this foolishness. America has so much potential and the institutions of higher education (Harvard) shoud be at the lead and provide assistance to this Congress and President. The process can not move forward without the cooperation from all not some or token gestures and empty words. The private sector has to be involved and institutions such as Harvard, MIT and others should create consortiums in concert with the United States Government to provide the technology,information,and human resources to move the United States of America into the number one position in the world. Manufacturing and energy should be the economic engines of the future. The oceans can provide a vast supply of our energy needs and mineral resources. The knowledge and leaders are here can we as a nation stand together united and focus on rebuilding this nation with sound and quality leadership that serves all of the people of the United States of America.

For example in baseball the MLB still won't allow video replay to go back on calls, why? It makes no sense to me.

]]> Comment on Talking with the Taliban: Should the U.S. “Bargain with the Devil” in Afghanistan? by TJM http://www.hnlr.org/print/?p=142&cpage=1#comment-16 TJM Thu, 02 Dec 2010 02:22:46 +0000 http://www.hnlr.org/?p=142#comment-16 Why is this viewed as a potential negotiation between the GIRoA and Taliban, rather than between the GIRoA and the people? Shouldn't the negotiation be the GIRoA and people coming to an agreement on the terms of what the people want from the GIRoA (basic governance / less corruption) and what the GIRoA wants from the people (cooperation against the Taliban)? The lessons of Iraq are not easily transposed onto Afghanistan, but one analogy that seems valid is that we negotiated terms of cooperation with the local communities/tribes/factions in Iraq against AQI and it seems that conditions are even more conducive to this approach in Afghanistan than they were in Iraq (see David Kilcullen, Counterinsurgency pg 160. Did anyone think for a moment that negotiating a power-sharing agreement with AQI would be feasible? Why is all the talk now only of GIRoA and Taliban negotiation, rather than GIRoA agents negotiating with local Afghan communities?
