Legislative Negotiation
In this era of increasing polarization, even enemies can negotiate. Indeed for the health of the country political adversaries must learn to negotiate well. Learning the fundamentals of successful negotiation does not have to be limited to the business sector or labor unions, but can also be of tremendous benefit to members of Congress and state legislators across the country. Yet remarkably, current courses and training in negotiation do not include legislative negotiation. Current courses and training on Congress and the state legislatures do not include negotiation.
