Title: To agree or not to agree
First published: 1999
Description: Lisa Baglione offers a model that focuses on the role of leaders to help us understand the successes and failures of American-Soviet negotiations and by implication other sets of critical negotiations.

In examining the goals and strategies of individual leaders - and their ability to make these the goals and strategies of their nations - the author provides a nuanced understanding that demonstrates how leaders facing a variety of domestic and international pressures sometimes succeed and sometimes fail to arrive at agreements with the leaders of their most important rival.

Scholars of international relations and arms control as well as those interested in bargaining and international negotiations and contemporary military history will find To Agree or Not to Agree an indispensable addition to the literature.
