Abstract
The ultimate goal of this book project is to propose measures for the strategic facilitation of the negotiation process. Facilitation is external intervention in the negotiation process to support the parties involved in the process to reach a satisfactory agreement, or to move the talks in a constructive direction (see Sjöstedt & Penetrante 2013). Facilitation occurs in terms of preparing negotiators to empower them to cope with various dilemmas at the negotiation table. It relates to the interventions on the process and procedure of reaching an agreement, and not to the content or substance of the conflict. Facilitation is not limited to actors assuming the role of mediators at the negotiation table. Other facilitators may include NGOs or even the conflicting parties themselves, when they introduce changes in the structure to enhance communication. In the context of multiplicity of issues and status involved in identity conflicts, there can be no single facilitator, but rather a concert of several actors and structures which should be coordinated to maximize synergies.
