“The Negotiations Will Be Short…”
Experts on negotiation and conflict resolution weigh in on Star Wars
Everything you need to know about negotiation and conflict resolution, for Star Wars and everyday life.
Our books explore Star Wars from an obvious yet new angle: conflict, negotiation, and conflict resolution theory and practice. Each chapter explores negotiation and conflict resolution concepts and techniques within the narrative landscape of Star Wars, providing new insights into Star Wars and new knowledge to use in managing our own conflicts.
Anyone who has ever been enthralled by Star Wars – as a child, an adult, a parent, a student, a professional, as all the above - or has one of those people in their life, will be fascinated and inspired by what the saga can teach us about human conflict and how Jedi, Sith, and we ourselves can cope with conflict better.
