The topic of how states should and do deal with actors like terrorists, murderous dictators, and leaders of lawless guerrilla movements who are usually considered beyond the pale is important for both scholars and policymakers. The same is true for the role of mediators in a range of conflicts.

The article analyzes past negotiations to distill lessons for those confronted with the challenge of trying to find mutually tolerable settlements to work out hostage situations. A hostage situation is an example of a case in which policy makers face a series of unattractive policy options. Given the limitations of the abilities of hostage-rescue units, the use of force and violence may often be judged inadvisable and sometimes impossible to institute successfully

Wheeler, Michael, and Nancy J. Waters. "The Origins of a Classic: Getting to Yes Turns Twenty-Five." Negotiation Journal 22.4 (2006): 475-81. Web.

The article discusses various reports published within the book and what impact it had in theory, practice and the teaching of negotiation.


"Article Evaluation"

Each fact within the "Getting to Yes" wiki article is articulate and true with sources cited at the bottom. Though the Principal negotiations were mentioned in little detail. Because our topic of principal negotiation was merged into the book source Wikipedia, there are some variables that are just from the book that doesn't say much about the principal negotiations, the section with principle negotiations section was straight and to the point. The article is generally neutral, but is mainly positive facts on the book with little to no opposition. The article was written with praise to the author and the methods within it, with no regard to the negative factors. All of the sources are reliable and are working efficiently. The main goal is to get all sides shown, so that will be the goal of our team this semester. The Principled Negotiation was spoken with little explanation which will need to be added on to, but the Wikipage seems to have small mistakes that can be changed.
