ABSTRACT

This part presents a social science career that spanned 56 years. The career is notable as being multi-faceted in both its global and substantive reach as well as institutional variety. The approach taken, referred to as a prosopography, is to capture contributions made in a larger historical social science context. These contributions are organized into three broad themes – negotiation, identity, and justice. The two negotiation chapters cover projects on laboratory bargaining and analyses of a considerable variety of cases of negotiating in the international context. The identity chapter highlights a link between social psychology and international relations. This includes work on simulation, regional politics, and the relationship between nationalism and war. The chapter on justice also reveals variety in approach and issue domains. Insights about the importance of procedural justice in peace talks to end civil wars, trade, arms control, and environmental negotiation are shared along with a broad overview of what is known about the connection between two themes: justice and negotiation. Other facets of the career, including training opportunities, are discussed. The Part concludes with a rare look behind the scenes of these research streams. Entertaining stories about the people, organizations, and sponsors that made it possible are told in a final chapter.
