Sharp ideological differences were largely absent. But today politics in America is dominated by intense party polarization and limited agreement among legislative representatives on policy problems and solutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmericans pride themselves on their community spirit, civic engagement, and dynamic society. Yet, as the editors of this volume argue, we are handicapped by our national political institutions, which often-- but not always--stifle the popular desire for policy innovation and political reforms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePolitical Negotiation: A Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e explores both the domestic and foreign political arenas to understand the problems of political negotiation. The editors and contributors share lessons from success stories and offer practical advice for overcoming polarization. In deliberative negotiation, the parties share information, link issues, and engage in joint problem solving. Only in this way can they discover and create possibilities, and use their collective intelligence for the good of citizens of both parties and for the country.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Mansbridge\u003c\/b\u003e is Adams Professor of Political Leadership and Democratic Values at the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
