As we head into the new millennium, we are witnessing a growing and
heightened interest among organizational scholars on the topics of
conflict and negotiation. New research questions are being
identified, while new theory is being applied to "old" questions.
The result is exciting research that has organizational and social
relevance. The papers in this volume, which grew out of the eighth
biannual Conference on Negotiation in Organizations, are
representative of the provocative and "cutting edge" theory and
research emerging in the area of conflict and negotiation.
This fifth volume in the series discusses such topics as the
effects of relationships and context among relative equals,
paranoia and distrust in organizations, and perspective competition
in a collaborative context.

This volume of Research on Negotiation in Organizations focuses on
three new and emerging areas in the domain of negotiation and
conflict within organizations. In the first section, the problem of
"deviance" within organizations is approached from a conflict and
justice perspective. Earlier research attention to these issues
tended to treat deviance largely as a problem created by selected
individuals who did not adapt to the organization, rather than as a
systemic problem created by certain organizational conditions. By
seeing deviant behavior in organizations as a possible response to
unfair treatment, and by employing conflict management concepts to
explain how individuals respond to organizational constraints and
pressures, the papers in this section extend the work on conflict
and justice to a new, rich, and largely unexplored domain.
The second section of this volume addresses an increasingly
important challenge in our world - the effective management of
environmental conflict; the authors demonstrate factors
contributing to the intractability of environmental disputes, and
the importance of perceptions of fairness in attaining conflict
resolution.
The third and final section offers diverse but important papers
in the application of conflict and negotiation to the international
environment, including an examination of conflict in a Chinese
cultural context, and commentary on the role of power differences
in conflict management and negotiation.
