Resolving attacker-defender conflicts through intergroup negotiation

Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Aug 13:42:e124. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X19000694.

Abstract

The target article focuses on how attacker-defender conflicts are fought. This commentary complements it by considering how attacker-defender conflicts may be resolved at the bargaining table. I highlight multiple linkages between asymmetric intergroup conflict as modeled with the attacker-defender game and negotiation research and illustrate how the proposed model of attacker-defender conflicts can inspire new research on intergroup negotiation.
