GETTING TO YES
Roger Fisher and William Ury

This book, written by the founder of CMG, offers a concise, step-by-step, proven strategy for coming to mutually acceptable agreements in every sort of conflict - whether it involves parents and children, neighbors, bosses and employees, customers or corporations, tenants or diplomats.  Based on the work of the Harvard Negotiation Project, a group that deals continually with all levels of negotiation and conflict resolution, from domestic to business to international.

"This is by far the best thing I've ever read about negotiation.  It is equally relevant for the individual who would like to keep his friends, property, and income and the statesman who would like to keep the peace."
 
- John Kenneth Galbraith




GETTING TOGETHER
Roger Fisher and Scott Brown

Getting Together takes you step-by-step through initiating, negotiating, and sustaining enduring relationships in business, in government, between friends, and in the family.

"Any reader will learn a lot from this book...The authors do indeed tell us, as they promise they will, what each of us can do to make a relationship work better."
 
- Harvard Law Bulletin 




BEYOND MACHIAVELLI
Roger Fisher, Elizabeth Kopelman, and
Andrea Kupfer Schneider

The authors break conflicts into manageable components and advance a process for problem-solving.  Arguing that we need to move beyond one-shot "solutions" toward a constructive way of dealing with differences, they lay out tools for conflict analysis and practical applications for those tools in the international arena.

"Clarity, experience, brilliant ideas for coping with conflict."
 
- Elie Wiesel, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize




GETTING READY TO NEGOTIATE
Roger Fisher and Danny Ertel

This is the first workbook to illustrate the process described in Getting To Yes.  Included are case studies, charts, and forms for blueprinting a personalized negotiating strategy, one that is certain to make negotiating situations more productive and profitable.


 



GETTING IT DONE
Roger Fisher and Alan Sharp

  In their book Getting It Done, the authors advance the idea of lateral leadership as a means of breaking apart the logjams that inhibit effective collaboration in organizations.  This is a practical guide to solving common workplace woes that will relieve the frustrations that many of us experience every day and at the same time help us to stand out as leaders.

"Improving the way we work with others requires changing both their habits and our own. Getting It DONE shows how to produce the kind of joint behavior that produces results."

-
Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion


 



THE NEW SOVEREIGNTY
Abram Chayes and
Antonia Handler Chayes

"The approach of Chayes and Chayes is in my favorite tradition: neither legalistic nor formalistic, but full of sophisticated good sense based on personal experience and historical scholarship.  Theirs is an original - and actually upbeat - way of thinking about international agreements."
 

-  Thomas C. Schelling,
University of Maryland, 
Author of The Strategy of Conflict




PREVENTING CONFLICT IN THE POST-COMMUNIST WORLD
Abram Chayes and
Antonia Handler Chayes

The authors show how difficult it is to achieve effective joint action on a sustained basis.  They contend that a concerted effort to discover how to achieve joint action is the necessary next step in mobilizing international organizations for preventing ethno-national conflict.





PLANNING FOR INTERVENTION
Abram Chayes and
Antonia Handler Chayes

This book examines both the failures and successes of intervention by the international community into the internal conflicts that are plaguing the post-cold war world.  It examines the legal framework and the bureaucratic and political realities that govern intervention and helps to explain why performance has been so uneven.




DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton and Sheila Heen

This book walks you through a proven, concrete, step-by-step approach for understanding and conducting tough conversations.  It shows you how to get ready, how to start the conversations in ways that reduce defensiveness, and how to keep the conversation on a constructive track regardless of how the other person responds.

"Emotional intelligence applied to life's tough moments."
Daniel Goleman,
   Author of Working With Emotional Intelligence


WATCHING THE WIND
Susan Collin Marks

Watching the Wind: Conflict Resolution During South Africa's Transition to Democracy is a compelling account of peacemaking in action.  The author takes us to the front lines of South Africa's struggle to manage the tempestuous transition from apartheid to democracy.
