INI is housed:
- AT THE HARVARD
NEGOTIATION PROJECT
INI is based at the Harvard Negotiation Project (HNP) at Harvard Law School. The mission of HNP is to improve the theory, teaching, and practice of negotiation and dispute resolution, so that people can deal more constructively with conflicts ranging from the interpersonal to the international. HNP was created in 1979 and is perhaps best known for the development of the theory of "interest-based negotiation," as presented in Getting to YES: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In, by Roger Fisher, Bill Ury, and Bruce Patton. Getting to YES outlines a commonsense approach to negotiation that has been read by millions of people in 25 different languages.
HNP frequently tests its theories in the crucible of practice, often in the heat of some of the world's most intransigent conflicts. From South Africa to Latin America, the Mideast to the Balkans, HNP works with individuals and governments on initiatives ranging from injecting a single idea at a crucial time to initiating and framing an entire process for dealing with a conflict.
The Harvard Negotiation Project is one of several research projects under the rubric of the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.
