NEGOTIATIONS IN SCIENCE AND THE SCIENCE OF NEGOTIATION

Summary/Abstract: ln the paper the author demonstrates that there is substantial congruity between the studies of the negotiating character of science and those of negotiations in the field of politics. The congruity exists in analyses of the emergence of conflicts, in the classification of conflicts, in the classification of solutions, in the interests leading the conflicted parties, and, in cases considered to be typical, even in the methods of conflict resolution. Although there are, in politics as well as in science, modes of concluding or terminating conflicts that are not of a "negotiating character", the author deems that such solutions (the method of a good argument or the method of force) are not the subject of negotiation. The author also discusses the models of conflict resolution created by R. Fisher, W. Ury, R. Axe/rod, L. Laudan, T. Engelhardt and others. The concluding debate, about the interests leading the conflicted parties, sets the framework in which the methodology of "peaceful resolution of conflicts" could achieve results: the reaching of a consensus.
