Description: "This innovative work by Francis Deng, the noted scholar, diplomat, legal expert and author, moves the study of negotiation out of the limited traditional context of industrial relations and resituates it in the broader arena of negotiating human relations, drawing on his childhood experiences, inter-racial and cross-cultural encounters at home and abroad, and incidents from his diplomatic career. Talking It Out provides an account of the author's family and background as a son of the leading Dinka Chief in a long line of leaders believed to be spiritually-endowed peace-makers, a cultural context that has helped shape his perspective on conflicts and how to manage or resolve them."--BOOK JACKET.
