In this update of the 2008 edition, Saner (organization and international management, U. of Basel, Switzerland; World Trade Institute, Berne) makes a valuable contribution to elucidating the theory and practice of newer forms of state vs. non-state multiple stakeholder interactions in the international policy sphere: economic, business, commercial, and nongovernmental organization diplomacy. In the contexts of distributive and integrative bargaining, he discusses the tactics of reframing, agenda setting, standard setting, playing watchdog, and whistle-blowing. The work includes supporting examples, tables and figures, and a list of related books by the author. Translated from the original titled Verhandlungstechnik.
