Disputes challenge protagonists, interested observers, and would-be interveners to find effective and efficient ways of moving toward a settlement of differences. The primary mission of Negotiation Journal is to encourage the search for, and development of, improved techniques for dealing with those differences through the give-and-take of negotiation.

The Journal is an internationally known quarterly that is eclectic both in its contents and its readership. It strives to offer a publication that is useful to everyone interested in the practice and analysis of dispute resolution-lawyers, diplomats, labor negotiators, government officials, family mediators, and businesspeople (among others), as well as scholars in these varied fields.

The kinds of articles that appear in the Journal range from brief columns reporting or commenting on interesting ideas to research reports; from analytic descriptions of negotiation practice to essays aimed at building negotiation theory; from integrative book reviews to accounts of educational innovations.

Negotiation Journal is published by the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School and Blackwell Publishing. It is available both in the traditional printed format and also as an online electronic journal.
