the real world. For example, if the situation where there are multiple parties, or there is a situation where a compromise is unsuitable, such as nuclear disarmament, then this type
of agreement, where there is movement towards a middle point may be unacceptable or impractical (Fisher and Ury, 1997). In order to overcome some of the problems we will
