Negotiation is a fundamental form of resolving disputes involving two or more parties (REF1). Negotiations may also take place to avoid any future disputes. It can be an interpersonal or intergroup process. Negotiations can take place at an international or corporate level and also at a personal level. Negotiations often involve give and take, recognizing that there is to some extent interdependence between the contenders to achieve the goal. This means that negotiations arise only when goals cannot be achieved independently [2]. Interdependence means that both parties can influence the other party's outcome and vice versa. Negotiations can be win-lose or win-win in nature. The disputant will try to force the other parties to comply with their demands or will attempt to formulate a solution that satisfies both parties. The nature of their relationship during negotiation is linked to the nature of their interdependence, the way negotiations are managed and the final outcomes for the disputants [3]. Effective negotiators seek to understand the ways in which other litigants may modify or readjust their positions throughout the process. This can be understood by observing how other contenders change their positions during previous negotiations. Negotiations also involve a desired amount of information exchange and seek to influence the outcome of the other contender. This process of give and take is necessary to reach a favorable agreement. Contenders will usually not want to cooperate if they sense a lack of willingness to compromise on the part of the other party. Political scientist Robert Dahl (1957:202), defines power as: “A has power over B to the extent that he can get B to do something B would do nothing else...half of the paper......devalue or devalue the needs and desires of a less powerful contender. Empowerment combined with perspective taking results in constructive and integrative negotiation. When considering the perspectives or opinions of others, individuals with more power have a protective shield against the traitorous behavior of other contenders [6]. This means that powerful negotiators are not easily manipulated or influenced by their opponents' anger or threats. As I said before, an individual with more power is less likely to be influenced by the emotions of opponents, but only identifies his own interests in the bargaining and the overall desired outcome. Thus power inversely influences the negotiator's perspective, but also immunizes him or her from the angry or threatening tactics of the disputants. By taking perspective taking and power into account, a negotiator will have an advantage when it comes to bargaining.
