Principled negotiation is a very effective method of resolving disputes, however, there are occasions that may prove too difficult to put principled negotiation into action, such as the times when one party is not interested in a fair outcome. Developed by the Harvard Negotiation Project principled negotiation is a method designed to find an outcome to a dispute that is fair to both parties. Principled negotiation is not necessarily the easiest form of negotiation; however, it is most likely to
Negotiation is a discussion that takes place between two or more disputants who are trying to find a solution to their conflicting problem.

Getting to YES, by Roger Fisher, William Ury, and Bruce Patton, offers a step-by-step, strategy for coming to mutual and acceptable agreements in every sort of conflict regardless who is involved.
