Description: Principled Negotiation and Mediation in the International Arena by Paul J. Zwier This book argues that it can be useful for the United States to talk with evil - that is, terrorists and other bad actors - if it employs a strategy that engages a mediator who shares the United States principles yet is pragmatic. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book argues that it can be beneficial for the United States to talk with evil - terrorists and other bad actors - if it engages a mediator who shares the United States principles yet is pragmatic. It shows how the US can make better foreign policy decisions and demonstrate its integrity for promoting democracy and human rights, by employing a mediator who facilitates disputes between international actors by moving them along a continuum of principles, as political parties act for a countrys citizens. This is the first book to integrate theories of rule of law development with conflict resolution methods, and it examines ongoing disputes in the Middle East, North Korea, South America and Africa. It draws on the authors experiences with The Carter Center and judicial and legal advocacy training to provide a sophisticated understanding of the current situation in these countries and of how a strategy of principled pragmatism will give better direction to US foreign policy abroad.
