This book has its origins in an M.I.T. research project that was
funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Our
immediate objective was to prepare a set of case studies that
examined bargaining and negotiation as they occurred between
government, environmental advocates, and regulatees throughout the
traditional regulatory process. The project was part of a larger
effort by the EPA to make environmental regulation more efficient
and less litigious. The principal investigator for the research
effort was Lawrence Sus skind of the Department of Urban Studies
and Planning. Eight case studies were prepared under the joint
supervision of Susskind and the authors of this book. Studying the
negotiating behavior of parties as we worked our way through an
environmental dispute proved enlightening. We observed missed oppor
tunities for settlement, negotiating tactics that backfired, and
strategies that ap peared to be grounded more in intuition than in
thoughtful analysis. At the same time, however, we were struck by
how often the parties ultimately managed to muddle through. People
negotiated not out of some idealistic commitment to consensus but
because they thought it better served their own interests. When
some negotiations reached an impasse, people improvised mediation.
These disputants succeeded in spite of legal and institutional
barriers, even though few of them had a sophisticated understanding
of negotiation."
