Abstract

This chapter examines calculations in which leading negotiators engaged in the closing stages of a negotiation in choosing a strategy oriented around containing violence (conflict management) or one aimed at settling the disputes underlying that violence (conflict resolution). On reaching a point at which the end of the negotiations is nigh, what factors impact the decision-making calculus of the negotiation parties such that they perceive one or the other strategy as more (or less) desirable? Do the closing behaviors of dueling, driving, dragging, or mismatching correspond to either of these strategies and outcomes?
