Example text
It is the possibility that multilateral negotiations might be positive sum, which keeps negotiations alive and persuades many participants to keep trying. The rewards from a genuine breakthrough are large, and incentive enough to stay involved. Except in very extreme circumstances multilateral negotiations are unlikely to yield zero sum results to any participant. Those seeing the negotiations in zero sum terms are more likely to consider other means, including war, in order to transform their bargaining position in relation to others.
Where deadlocks exist in multilateral negotiations this is likely to be because strategies of voice are paramount. To analyse ‘voice’, however, in all its different ramifications, is to analyse the political, the ways in which interests are formed, and power and authority are distributed, and identities constructed. If voice is dominant, this may be because exit is not feasible, or because loyalty is high, either to another state, or to an international organization and its rules. But that raises an intriguing question.
As such, deadlocks in multilateral settings pose us with a particularly challenging set of problems. They also present us with an exciting range of opportunities and constraints in terms of solution sets. For instance, we might find that framing one’s cause in terms of fairness and justice is likely to have a greater impact in a multilateral setting, than in a bilateral or regional context where there are fewer third parties involved and hence fewer actors serving as the audience. Depending on how such framing tactics are used, attention to fairness and justice concerns may increase the probability of arriving at a deadlock – and especially if there is a great deal of contestation on what constitutes a fair deal (as per Hypothesis 5) – but may also increase the probability of reaching a more equitable agreement if the deadlock is broken.
