Abstract
The paper examines the issue of negotiation with terrorists and how this can affect America's policy regarding the war on terror. The paper examines the issue and shows how diplomacy can do little to protect the nation from future attacks on the scale of September 11th. The paper discusses how this realization dictates that America must communicate with terrorists in the only language they understand; violence. The paper points out that terrorist negotiation can only happen when the terrorists themselves have transformed to a more stable and rational state of mind.
From the Paper
"President Bush's position on negotiating with terrorism is quite clear. "No nation can negotiate with terrorists. For there is no way to make peace with those whose only goal is death" (qtd. "Negotiating with Terrorists"). Despite the stumbling blocks that have been encountered in America's war on terror, this sentiment is still true. Negotiation must be based on rational conversation. All parties involved must be committed to finding a solution that provides a best-case scenario, not just for themselves, but for all involved. Radical zealots about a cause that refuse to even consider the other sides of an issue cannot be a participatory part of rational negotiations. They have based their entire campaign for the promotion of their cause on inflicting violence and terror on innocent citizens, most often it is only through force that they understand the consequences of their actions."

Terrorists or Freedom Fighters - A Decision of Perception. Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?, 2002.

Abstract
This is a question of perspective and of side. Depending upon the side you find yourself upon, your ideology, and your religion, determining who is fighting for the greater good and who is simply a terrorist is an impossibility of perception. Culturally, there is a great deal of support for freedom fighters. They are associated with the development of anti-oppression movements that we most closely associate with the American Revolution. To the British, the Boston Massacre was the suppression of terrorists, to the Americans, it was the massacre of innocents seeking nothing more than personal and communal freedom. This is how the world perceives Afghanis, members of Al Qaeda, and the combatants in Chechnya - as either terrorists or freedom fighters. It is the purpose of this paper to examine differences in perspectives on terrorism and how each group is perceived.

Abstract
The paper compares the characteristics of terrorists with individual criminals by examining various profiles of terrorists that have been introduced by scholars throughout the years. The paper studies group reinforcement in order to show how terrorists justify their acts. The paper concludes that although there is no clear way to profile a terrorist, terrorists crimes differ from conventional criminal behavior in that they are more goal specific with an ultimate cause to support.
Outline:
Abstract
Introduction
Terrorists and Ordinary Criminals
Group Reinforcement and the Justification of Terrorism
Terrorist Profiles
Warrior Dreams
Summary
From the Paper
"Both criminals and terrorists commit crimes; however, there are differences between the two groups. Criminals are more impulsive, committing crimes for certain gains, whereas, terrorists feel they exist for a certain cause that justifies violence. Their crimes are planned out to attack the status quo, which does not fit their belief system. Groups of terrorists influence individuals to believe in a specific cause. These groups are separated from mainstream society. It is difficult to label individual terrorists and groups with certain characteristics because there are so many differences, as well, the concepts of terrorist behavior has changed."

Negotiating, 2007.
This paper studies the act of negotiating, concentrating on creating artistic and financial value in commercial arts negotiations.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that according to the guidebook 'The Manager as Negotiator', the very essence of negotiation is creating and claiming value. The writer explains that every person in a negotiation strives to advance his or her interests and maximize his or her advantages. Further, the writer points out that the goal of the process is ultimately to attempt to bridge the gap, ideally, between two different points of view by creating a more equitable solution that improves upon either party's narrowly advanced interests. The writer concludes that this dilemma between the producers and the musicians highlights the difficulty of negotiation when two parties approach the issue not simply with two distinct interests, but from two different philosophical paradigms of who owns the art that is the essence of both side's livelihood and lives.
From the Paper
"David Lax's and James Sebenius' illustration of this principle is that of bartering. For example, two persons with different material goods, such as bananas and pears, are able to come to an better agreement if they can arrive at a fair price, than they would be had they refused to trade at all, as both will have more variety of foodstuffs in the long run. However, this example can prove difficult when one party attempts to transpose this assumption onto the field of the arts. In business negotiations, finances tend to dominate. No matter how divided the two parties are in terms of how they see an issue, usually the crucial matter involves dollars and cents. Likewise, in a divorce settlement, emotions and the welfare of the children often dominate the proceedings, even though finances are also an issue. Regardless, both parties tend to view the proceeding from the same paradigm - either primarily from a professional or a personal standpoint."

The Psychological Aspect of Terrorism and Terrorists, 2002.
This paper discusses why people become terrorists and use terrorism.
1,450 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 33.95
»

Abstract
A discussion of what drives a person to become a terrorist. This paper examines why certain people become terrorists and why they perform the actions they do. It seeks to see if certain types of people are more susceptible to becoming terrorists and whether there is a fixed profile of a terrorist. The author concludes saying that different terrorist organizations act in different ways, and a generalization would not only be inaccurate but it could be detrimental to counter terrorism agencies. Further research into the study of terrorists and terrorism is called for.
From the Paper
"Throughout time, different factions have relied on the use of terror to help impart their views and bring about a change in the status quo that suits their needs. Terrorists use different forms of terrorism that range from the kidnapping of dignitaries, to the mass murders of thousands of civilians. The terrorists who plan out these acts due so in a variety of ways, by having a few people go into an embassy and kidnap the dignitaries there, from hijacking an airplane and flying it on a suicide mission into a building. The psychological aspect of terrorism needs to be examined to see what psychological things they share in common, if any, and what motivates and drives them in these terrorist pursuits."

Abstract
This paper provides a definition of negotiation and examines what successful negotiating means. The writer explains that parties need to understand what the ultimate goal is, to reach common ground, while still maintaining their reputations and image. The ability to yield power is essential in successful negotiations.
From the Paper
"Whether the situation involves a forum of world leaders converging at the next World Economic Forum or simply a teenaged brother and sister trying to persuade the other to take out the garbage for the night, negotiation involves its participants wielding tools of power in order to further their cause. Studying the uses of power in negotiation is tantamount to exploring the psychological ballet played out by the negotiators as they attempt to prevail over their counterpart(s)."

?Ultimate Terrorists?, 2004.
A review of the book, ?The Ultimate Terrorists?, by Jessica Stern

Abstract
This paper examines the book, "The Ultimate Terrorists", by Jessica Stern, former National Security Council staffer, which explains with chilling lucidity why it is becoming more likely that terrorist threats will materialize into a major terrorist incident featuring a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). It looks at how, after September 11, 2001, the book has taken on a deeper meaning since it was written in 1999, when America held onto the idea that terrorist activity was something that took place on foreign shores. It discusses how Stern?s book details in advance many of the factors in play which created the 9/11 tragedy and how terrorists have shifted their perspective from activity that gains power for their political or religious party to choosing targets just for the purpose of making a statement.
From the Paper
"The book's strongest chapter concerns the threat of loose Russian materials (the area that was Stern's specialty at the NSC). Stern's knowledge of security in Russia gives these sections a punch that many who report on this issue have lacked up until now. Stern was portrayed by Nichol Kidman in the movie Peacemakers which was built on this theme. The turning point of the movie is a discussion between a military Russian specialist, who knew the military character who would steal a dozen nuclear warheads and Kidman?s character who is a specialist on fringe terrorist groups. Kidman?s character, after getting a lecture on how predictable a military terrorist would be, says ?I?m not afraid of a man who wants 10 nuclear weapons; I am terrified of the man who wants only one."

Abstract
The Bush Administration strongly believes that the events of September 11th have created conditions under which a Military Order calling for military courts - essentially military tribunals - is justified. The predominate reason given is that the military tribunal will provide an atmosphere in which individuals who are terrorists or who are affiliated with terrorists can be brought to justice. This paper examines the nature of a military tribunal through ethical arguments

Outline
Purpose of the Book
Theoretical Concern
The Concepts Used in the Book
Variables Used in the Book
Logical and Scientific Explanation
Strengths and Shortcomings of the Book
From the Paper
"This book concentrates on two subjects: First, the book highlights the reasons behind certain states establishing democratic systems after a catastrophe pressures to end dictatorial administration, at the same time as others states or countries perceive a continuance of dictatorial administration. Second, the book highlights the reasons behind the development of contemporary democracies in the direction of consolidation, as, at the same time others either stop or breakdown. This book subsequently highlights the three likely results of the administration preference procedure: persistent dictatorial administration, conception of democracy, and strengthening the democratic system. The book demonstrates that there are separate paths for each of these results, and recognizes the ways by understanding the dialogue and discussions across the procedure."

It gives an overview of the organizational initiatives of Islamic extremists groups.

Outline:
Introduction
Review and Discussion
Organizational Initiatives for Islamic Extremists
Women in Islam
Operational Use of Women by Islamic Extremists
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research showed that Islamic extremism is on the rise, and the implications for women - both Islamic and otherwise -- are profound and severe. Women, now often used as fodder by Islamic extremists, are themselves the startling and disturbing method that is used to achieve ideological goals. Unfortunately, the research has shown that, because of their inherent vulnerability in Islamic societies, women and children are used as suicide bombers. This analysis, though, only describes one aspect of women's willingness to participate; often, they enjoy a brief elevation in status (before their death in the line of duty), and believe that heavenly rewards await them after their task is completed. Their effectiveness is also very real - recognized by both Islamic leaders and their enemies. Female suicide bombers have already raised Israel's concerns; these activities will continue to create a more problematic and militant environment for Israeli authorities in the future. The situation only promises to become worse, as Islamic extremists have apparently not used women to their best advantage. One cannot know the true roles that women do play in these organizations, however, because Islamic extremists are very secretive. While the various positions that women hold within an organization remains speculative at best, it is quite obvious that they are being used as an effective tool of war, often sacrificed on the altar of jihad."

Martel Negotiating Points, 2006.
This paper examines the negotiation and sale of the Martel company.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 1 source, £ 18.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Martel case study as it relates to negotiation and negotiation preparations. Martel is being acquired on the open market by either The Seagram Company or Grand Met and the resulting competition for Martel has resulted in the need for negotiations. The paper relates that Martel is believed to have benefited from the competition and intends to elevate its asking price to $700m or more given its sudden valuation.
From the Paper
"Martel's overall strategy is based on obtaining the best possible cost per share basis for its shareholders as possible. Although originally wishing to avoid a bidding-war for itself, that fact that one has arisen in spite of its best efforts should be fully utilized to its advantage. The goals derived from this cost per share strategy are fairly straightforward: 1) leverage Grand Met's desire to undercut The Seagram company against The Seagram Company's desire to acquire such an old-world brand, 2) ensure that the Martel brand remains intact throughout any acquisition, and 3) obtain a target price in excess of $500 per share and more than $700m total."

Describes the different types of negotiation techniques and rules of those techniques.
1,190 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 0 sources, APA, £ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that, when a conflict is negotiated, the persons involved in the conflict agree on certain rules. The paper also points out that how the the conflict participants communicate is crucial to the negotiation and that the communication tactics that are chosen are subject to the rules of the negotiation. The paper then goes on to discuss the different communication tactics and negotiation strategies and the rules that apply.
From the Paper
"Collaborative negotiators don't fight. It's not that they don't look after their own self-interests, but the focus is on finding innovative ways to meet the needs of both sides so that everyone is happy. By working together they solve the problem that confronts them. They avoid attacking each other personally by confining their attention to the problem. They do everything they can to preserve their relationship. Taking a position in negotiation implies there is no other solution but one--it limits options--so collaborative negotiators avoid taking a position."
