This negotiation does not involve a third party. Negotiation occurs in two ways. They are integrative and distributive negotiation. Integrative negotiation is a constructive approach in conflict resolution. Both parties begin to negotiate with cooperation and respect. They exchange information to discuss their conflict and identify their problems while protecting their relationship and interest. Distributive negotiation, also called bargaining approach, is when both parties begin to negotiate with goals and advantages they want to achieve in their negotiation. They do not pay attention much to their relationship and interests. They force other party through demands and threats in order to achieve the goals. In other words, a distributive negotiation applies a win-lose solution in the conflict resolution process. 2 Mediation Mediation is a problem solving process that needs the third party’s help. The participation of the third party is to guide the conflicting parties to solve the problem.
