Frank, DavidSimmons, Chloe2022-05-102022-05-102022-05-10https://hdl.handle.net/1794/27149Single negotiating text, also known as the one text method, is a method of mediation created by Roger Fisher which allows a mediator to easily bring parties involved in complex and contentious issues toward a solution. This method has been described most famously in Fisher and William Ury’s book, Getting to Yes, and was used in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter at Camp David to broker the lasting successful peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. In this paper, I will trace the history of the method itself through an in-depth analysis of Fisher and others’ texts about international conflict resolution as well as interviews from various colleagues of Fisher himself who have also used the single negotiating text method in their own work in international conflict resolution. All of these sources have pointed to how successful the one text method might be for complex negotiations, demonstrating that it should be used as a prominent tool in international mediation.en-USAll Rights Reserved.ADRConciliationInternational MediationOne Text MethodRoger FisherSingle Negotiation TextElectronic Thesis or Dissertation
