It also discusses the different phases of negotiation - planning, debating issues, proposing solutions, and bargaining to reach an agreement.

The goal is to find a mutually beneficial solution to meet both parties' needs.
The document discusses alternative dispute resolution and principled negotiation techniques. It describes getting a wise agreement that meets both parties' interests rather than engaging in positional bargaining.

In the debating phase, listening is key and one should question positions to understand them rather than make accusations.
