Kremunyuk (U.S.A. and Canada studies, Russian Academy of Sciences) and Sj繩stedt (Swedish Institute of International Affairs) consider whether international economic negotiations differ from
other types of negotiation and examine the typical and, perhaps, unique characteristics of international negotiation. They also consider the degree to which economic theory, as opposed to
negotiation theory, explains the outcome of such exchanges. Using the framework of a comparative case study, the authors take a look at the issues which are often at stake: trade, money,
finance, macroeconomic affairs, and direct investment. The cases represent government-to-government, business-to-business, and business-to-government negotiations. Annotation c. Book News,
