In the global marketplace, negotiation frequently takes place
across cultural boundaries, yet negotiation theory has
traditionally been grounded in Western culture. This book, which
provides an in-depth review of the field of negotiation theory,
expands current thinking to include cross-cultural perspectives.
The contents of the book reflect the diversity of negotiation -
research-negotiator cognition, motivation, emotion, communication,
power and disputing, intergroup relationships, third parties,
justice, technology, and social dilemmas - and provides new insight
into negotiation theory, questioning assumptions, expanding
constructs, and identifying limits not apparent from working
exclusively within one culture. The book is organized in three
sections and pairs chapters on negotiation theory with chapters on
culture. The first part emphasizes psychological processes -
cognition, motivation, and emotion. Part II examines the
negotiation process. The third part emphasizes the social context
of negotiation. A final chapter synthesizes the main themes of the
book to illustrate how scholars and practitioners can capitalize on
the synergy between culture and negotiation research.
'A groundbreaking analysis of what used to be an impenetrable
mystery: how and why do cultures differ? ... Anyone interested in
our cultural divides will find tremendous insight in Rule Makers,
Rule Breakers' - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology,
Harvard University, and author of Enlightenment Now Why are clocks
in Germany always correct, while those in Brazil are frequently
wrong? Why are Singaporeans jailed for selling gum? Why do women in
New Zealand have three times the sex of females worldwide? Why was
the Daimler-Chrysler merger ill-fated from the start? And why does
each generation of Americans give their kids weirder and weirder
names? Curious about the answers to these and other questions,
award-winning social psychologist Michele Gelfand has spent two
decades studying both tight societies (with clearly stated rules
and codes of ethics) and loose societies (more informal communities
with weak or ambiguous norms). Putting each under the microscope,
she conducted research in more than fifty countries and
collaborated with political scientists, neuroscientists, computer
scientists, anthropologists, and archaeologists. Her fascinating
conclusion: behaviour seems largely dependent on perceived threats.
It's why certain nations seem predisposed to tangle with others;
some American states identify as "Red" and others as "Blue"; and
those attending a sports contest, health club, or school function
behave in prescribed ways. Rule Makers, Rule Breakers reveals how
to predict national variations around the globe, why some leaders
innovate and others don't, and even how a tight vs. loose system
can determine happiness. Consistently riveting and always
illuminating, Michele Gelfand's book helps us understand how a
single cultural trait dramatically affects even the smallest
aspects of our lives. 'Fascinating and profound...It's quite
possibly this year's best book on culture' - Roy F. Baumeister,
bestselling co-author of Willpower and author of The Cultural
Animal 'This brilliant book is full of well-documented insights
that will change the way you look at yourself and at the world
around you' - Barry Schwartz, bestselling author of The Paradox of
Choice, Practical Wisdom, and Why We Work

Although many have tried, the spontaneity of the Arab Spring
uprisings and the unpredictability of its diverse geographical
outcomes have resisted explanation. For social scientists, part of
the challenge has been how to effectively measure and analyze the
empirical data, while another obstacle has been a lack of attention
to the worldviews, value orientations, and long-term concerns from
the people of the Middle East and North Africa. In order to meet
these challenges head-on, Mansoor Moaddel and Michele J. Gelfand
have assembled an international team of experts to explore and
employ a new and diverse set of frameworks in order to explain the
dynamics of cross-national variation, values, political engagement,
morality, and development in these regions. To this end, the
authors address a wide range of questions, such as: To what extent
do recent events reflect changes in values among the Middle Eastern
publics? Are youth uniformly more supportive of change than the
rest of the population? To what extent are changes in values
connected to changes in identities? How do we explain the process
of change in the long term? As Moaddel and Gelfand remark in their
book's introduction, "Our hope is that this collective effort will
not only contribute to the development of the social sciences in
the Middle East and North Africa, but also to practical political
actions and public policies that serve social tolerance and
harmony, peace, and economic prosperity for the people of the
region."
